One CD for binaries and one for Your best bet is to make a distribution after-the-fact that contains a subset of the available packages that fits on a CD with the base install. APT supports this, and there is nothing stopping anyone (even progeny) from creating a nifty one-cd install. You could even (with work) setup something to keep the packages up to date on a ftp site. I think that the 'fullness' of the distribution is a strength. We shouldn't be saying we dont want X package in the distribution when it will further the goal of bringing as much Free software to the masses that dont necessarly want to install it by hand. -- Scott Dier <dieman@ringworld.org> <sdier@debian.org> http://www.ringworld.org/ #linuxos@irc.openprojects.net "When's the last time you used duct tape on a duct?" -Larry Wall
