Will the whole thing still fit on one CD? (preferably leaving some
space for non-free - it's OK to put it on a CD made for my own use)
X is quite a large package... The separate X 3.2 "distribution" is
a very good idea for testing (easy upgrade using dpkg-ftp, without
upgrading anything else), but I think it should finally become part
of rex-updates (only after enough testing, of course).
