Does anybody produce a DVD with packages that are not included
in official DVD set released by Debian?
For people who does have broadband connection to internet there is
practically no difference (I guess) between non-free and main
repository - all is available. But for people like me who only have
33k modem connection (it is not 56k because of bad phone line) and use
CD/DVD for installation this is show stopper.
Just to clarify my reasons: I can live without angband but I find it
frustrating to use emacs without info documentation and elisp info
too. But most painful experience was to download driver for my lucent
modem without working modem :( Also I want to use lame for mp3 encoding
and (oh heresy! :) cdrecord instead of wodim ...
PS: my original post was triggered by the fact that it was first time
I noticed that Debian have -doc package but not the program (opposed
to the emacs case :)
