Hello,

	You can also search 'which packages are on which CD/DVD' at: 
http://people.debian.org/~fenio/jigdo-search.php

	For the time being you can not list all packages from a given CD/DVD 
(perhaps such a feature is panned ?), but for single search queries will 
suffice.

	It should be nice to have that search at d.o/CD/ web pages or at least a link 
its current location.
