About 1/5th of the sarge businesscard image, and a fair bit of the netinst iso are taken up by the Contents-i386.gz files. I propose that these be dropped from these smaller images. As I understand it, the reason to include the Contents files is so users with a full CD set, who are on limited bandwidth or offline will have access to it. This is a good thing, and it's small compared to a full CD set. But with the small network install images, it is both relatively quite large, and not very useful, since the user will have a network connection, and will only use their CD for the intitial install. I've also thought that it might be worthwhile to remove the debian-keyring.tar.gz file (also 7 mb) from these images. However, I do not really know how that file is intended to be used. -- see shy jo
