I guess Jaimos is thinking that it's worth cutting down the .list files
to only the packages you need. In fact, unless you're short on CDs, it's
not worth the trouble: regardless of what you have on the CDs, you only
ever have to install the packages you want, plus their dependencies. The
.list files don't control what's actually installed on the final system.
