Yes, and the biggest problem is: With our internal packages we could even fill 2 DVDs. Maybe if everybody has a DVD player, we can increase the number of DVDs.
I understand the problem. Don't get me wrong, my comments were not meant as a criticism. I just want people to know that some great software is out there beyond what is on the CD/DVDs.
We don't put Source only packages on our CDs and I'm not sure if we are really allowed to put the sources of all of the four packages on our CDs (at least we are not allowed to but binaries of them on our CDs). Putting source only packages on CDs has the problem that you need to write very good documentation how the people are able to compile them, far to expensive. The people who are able to compile this sources are also able to download the latest working source from the net.

By the way, I would like to thank you for your great work on the NIS packages. NIS is important to compete directly against NT/2K and Novell in small to medium sized networks where a central directory solution is required.
