I think we've had a good discussion. The underlying point that I wanted to make is that SuSE (or any other vendor for that matter) must make decisons. I've always liked the completeness of the SuSE distro. Essentially, there is so much in a distro today that the DVD is getting packed and the majority of people use the DVDs. But, there are some cases where people muct used the CDs. Perhaps there should be an option to compose your own boxed set ie $20 for the manuals, $10 for a DVD, $20 for the CD's, $2 for each additional CD of the DVD content.
I think that SuSE's choice to leave packages off the CDs was problematic, but necessary. What I am suggesting is a way that those who buy a boxed set have a means to get those packages that are left off the media. Perhaps the6y should add an option onto the boxed set where for an extra $15 a purchaser can get CD's for the DVD content?
