My Debian 2.0 CDROMs from LSL don't have Contents files. Have they
been removed from 2.0, or are the LSL CDROMs not official?
As long as I am talking here, is anybody else bothered by the
variations in 'official' Debian CDROMs? I have seen 'official' debian
CDROM sets from different companies that have 1, 2, and 3 disks. LSL
uses a 2 disk set which contains a binary and source disk, but the
source disk doesn't contain the X11 source, for which you have to get
the contrib disk. I haven't seen anything that actually describes
what is supposed to be on the official disks. I checked
www.debian.org for that information, but I didn't find it anywhere
obvious.
