I picked up the list from cvs a few minutes ago. I see that it is in
alphabetical order. Unfortunately this means that packages for the
various tasks will be scattered over the first two CDs.

I carefully built task-woody so that packages for each task were grouped
together in the list. All the packages for basic-desktop, desktop,
laptop, dialup, and print-server are on the first CD. games and junior
are split between the first and second CDs. All the other tasks are on
the second CD. The following CDs are clear of "Task: foo" packages.

As it stands, the *-servers (excluding print), *-dev, tex, i18n and a few
others have been forced onto the 2nd CD.
gnome and kde must take up a considerable amount of space on the first CD.
If I get time I will work out how much space the packages for each task
takes.
