yes, but having a box is pretty difficult nowaday and the most
expensive is shipping costs from Germany

dvd with only the bugfixes already done should not be that difficult,
but if it is why not add an update cd? but it should be available with
the box/hard bound delivery, not only as dl.

most unexperienced people doing a good install endup with several
hours dl at the end of the install, this is not pretty

updates are not a problem (only three in 8 month) if disk usage is the
same

we have problems because things are blocked by the box system. Only
this prevent us from having updated media (I really don't see what is
difficult as having updates included with the dvd, enough to include
the relevant update repository content)
