exim maybe nullmailer and ssmtp woulg go onto Baseinstall-CD
while apache goes onto the "Server CD"

There are not realy much CD's...

I have splited it into

1)      Netinstall                      1 CD

2)      Baseinstall + Console tools     2 CD
3)      X-Window-System                 6 CD including OOo
4)      Devel                           2 CD
5)      KDE                             3 CD
6)      GNOME                           2 CD
7)      Documentations                  1 CD
8)      Servers                         1 CD

                I do not have exactly numbers of CD's
                for each section but it is like this.

I am using the popularity-contest to determiner the sequenz ce of the
packages on the CD's if one Section has more then it it on ONE CD.

If I split strict, I would get 17 CD's instead of 13 as in Debian.
But downloads would be reduced to a minimum.  If someone does not
development she/he will never download those 3 CD's.  I have never
installed KDE or GNOME which reduce automaticaly 5 CD's.
