------- Comment #3 from lrupp@xxxxxxxxxx  2007-06-05 15:52 MST -------
Adding around 30MB to the CDs/DVDs results in removing same size of packages
from them.

People who use the CD/DVDs and don't have an internet connection loose
packages, they will never get back without any benefit.

People who install via internet must already have a good internet connection.

For people using the online-repo just to get "missing" applications we should
find a better solution (what about a better implementation which didn't need so
much bandwith? ;-)

But perhaps this can be a alternative solution: Looking at debian for example:
they come up with three DVDs for each architecture containing mostly all of
their official online repositories. 

So I would prefer to create one or two additional medias (DVD only) containing
the stuff from the FTP trees which is currently not on the media. Currently we
have in the oss-repo for 10.2:
4.0G    i586
12M     i686
2.1G    noarch
4.0G    ppc
19M     ppc64
56M     repodata
47M     setup
3.6G    x86_64
14G     total

=> ~7GB for each architecture. => 2 DVDs

non-oss repo for 10.2:
350M    i586
72M     noarch
122M    ppc
460K    repodata
884K    setup
168M    x86_64
713M    total

=> ~1GB for each architecture. => Leave it as is (1CD) or add it to the DVDs
above.
