CD's are maybe not usefull in this size... Maybe only the first 8.

DVDs world be very helpful since not all peoples can build DVDs
there own.

V.34 and then Net-Install? Do you have already tried it?

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!!!!)

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.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
