Looking at my mirror:
144556 bo/binary-all
186029 bo/binary-i386
67491 rex/binary-all
150291 rex/binary-i386
13336 non-free/binary-all
43449 non-free/binary-i386
11113 contrib/binary-all
8710 contrib/binary-i386
Sum:
rex 217MB
rex+non-free+contrib 293MB
bo 334MV
bo+non-free+contrib 410MB
So at the moment even all binaries fit on on CD-ROm, but I believe
the next release or at least the release after that one will have
problems with it. For rex I had to create a second cd containing
source files.
