V.34 and then Net-Install? Do you have already tried it? > 4. ??? - what else would be a sane option? I have seen, that in the last month the ammount of games has increased. Why not put ALL the Games (last week I have seen a RFS for a Debian data package of 750 MByte ... UFFFFFFF!!!!) > Suggestions/comments/complaints - please let us know what you'd > prefer. Maybe Debian can provide 1) 50 MB Business card 2) 210MB Net-Install CD (including the base packages) 3) the first 5-8 CDs as they are 4) the 4 standard DVDs where the games are together on the LAST DVD. Personal Note: I find it annoying, that I have to download over 1 GByte (In Lenny they would be over 2 GByte) of Games if I want only an Office- and Devel-Workstation and some servers but I have the need for DVDs since I can not have everywhere an internet connection with 1 MBit or faster.
