Not quite. Most (if not all) DVD drives should already be able to cope with at least reading multi-layer discs; that's been in the spec for years, as dual-layer pressed discs have been around almost since day one of DVD. >That way, it's open for some enterprising packager to double up and >put two disks on each double layer disk as he/she wishes:) I know that UKLinux in the UK will be wanting to get Sarge i386 and source DVDs pressed ASAP after the release. I'd expect others will, too. Let's make life easier for them by producing official images, like for the existing CDs and DVDs. >I also had occasion to install a machine from 13 CD's again today: I >even used disk 13 :) There are a lot more machines around that only >have CD drives: will sarge be 25 disks or some such in CDs once you >include source??
