If adding non-free add another CD in any case, the non-free may be put in
the last CD, someone that want all software download all cd, who doesn't
want non-free doesn't download the last cd. I don't see any problem in
this...
Eventually the last CD may contain some contrib packages.
I don't want to create a flame, read below...

I'm thinking to make cd myself, with the software I like (only free software
and non-US/main), but I hope to test the Debian pre-official CD and make
some feedback in this list.
The images in ftp.fsn.hu are for Debian testers or are for anybody in
Internet and don't care about feedback to the release of woody?
