there is a special "debian-cd"-Package for this task, located in
  main/admin/debian-cd_1.0.0.deb         (8742 bytes, Aug 25  1997)

but this is based on building an official Debian-1.3.1-CD-ROM - set.

Up to now (March 16th '98), it seems that no new "debian-cd"-Package for
Debian 2.0 is currently provided.

I did the job on my own, and burned a "prehamm binary CD" on March 9th '98, 
which mirrors the current unstable/(main|contrib|non-free)/binary-i386-trees
of my nearest Debian-Mirror-FTP-Server. The size of the CD-Image ist almost
"CD-ROM filling"

root:~# du /cdrom | sort -nr | head -20
640780  /cdrom
507159  /cdrom/main/binary-i386
109487  /cdrom/non-free/binary-i386
24122   /cdrom/contrib/binary-i386

Considering the fact that I noticed about 80 MByte new or updated Debian-
packages after my CD-burn until the freeze date, I wonder if the hamm-deve-
lopers plan to restrict the combined sizes of main|non-free|contrib to
the CD-ROM-Size 650 MByte (not to forget the disks-i386 and certain utils
like loadlin and rawrite).

Ciao, Peter
