Why are the 2017 DVD ISOs so small ?
Hi,
the DVD images 1 to 3 in
http://ftp.ports.debian.org/debian-ports-cd/hurd-i386/debian-hurd-2017/
are listed with sizes 1.6G, 1.7G, and 1.7G respectively. At least DVD-1
really has only 1,680,308,224 bytes (and is not truncated or rolled over).
Is the small size intentional ?
A normal DVD has a capacity of 4482.625 MiB = 4.378 GiB.
So most of the data would fit onto a single medium.
Other Debian DVD-1 ISOs are a bit smaller than 4 GiB to fit on a "4 GB"
USB stick. See for example

Have a nice day :)
Thomas
