Thanks, but I have already started. I discovered that there were nasty
complications in the form of meta packages, particulaly in Task: junior,
and other packages are dragged onto the CDs because of dependencies. So I
have decided to make life easy for myself and I am building CD file-trees
which only have one task on them. I will post the results in an hour or
so.
