I've been looking around the CD vendors. Ideally, I'd like to buy: * netinst (in an actual mini-iso form factor) * businesscard (in an actual businesscard form factor) * multiarch DVD * multiarch CD I have not been able to find any of these for etch. Haven't checked _all_ the US vendors yet, but I am not optimistic. * gnome CD (CD #1), kde CD, and xfce CD The only way to get this from many vendors is by buying a set of all 23 CDs for ~$30. (Other vendors offer a 21 CD set that omit the kde and xfce CDs.) I don't mind the price, but buying 20 CDs that I will _never_ use is not something I can justify. (Things are somewhat better for the DVDs; even if I'd never use DVDs 2/3 it's useful archivally.) IMHO we need to do something to get vendors to default to selling the CDs that are useful, and de-emphasise the great big vanity packs that are just a waste of plastic for most users. -- see shy jo
