1. What CD images are you referring to? The ones on ftp.fsn.hu are
unofficial, as are any other CD images floating around on the net.
2. (To whomever is responsible for these images:) You probably should
update your copy of debian-cd from CVS and remove "base-woody" from
the task file you are using. This will eliminate a lot of stuff
that's allegedly "base" but unimportant. Pick a 2.2 and a 2.4 kernel
image and put them in your task file.
Woody CD 1 should be fairly complete with minimal hassle, at least for
all ISO-8859-* languages. (The cjk tasks bring in a lot of extra
stuff, so it might be worthwhile to have a separate Woody CJK cd that
has cjk tasks on it.)
Hope this helps some.
