CONCLUSIONS: Re: burning hamm on CD.
Hi,
I downloaded the rest of the distribution today (non-us and contrib).
I compared all the files in the binary-all and the binary-i386 trees
(since I have NT at work, it was downloaded into two different trees) and
my conclusion is that most of the files are identical (I deleted those on
the binary-all tree) some are newer on the -all tree and some are newer on
the -i386 tree (I kept both versions).
I will burn it on two CDs, one will have the main tree ,the disks-i386 and
the lates kernel. The other will have non-free, contrib, non-us and some
other useful programs (such as pine and netscape. BTW: There are some more
space, do you have any suggestions?). I didn't download the source code
since in this days I hardly have time to type my one code, I can't afford
to read and play with oneone elses' code... (I plan to become a debian
developer (or maintainer) after the spring (this) semester, when I'll have
more time)

It is NT here. I am going to delete the identical files, my question is,
whether to delete from binary-all or from binary-i386.
TIA,
Liran.
