Then why is there only 5 CD's?
Because the sources are only on the second DVD.
This is a VERY POOR judgement call on your part SuSE!!! I like a few others on this list do not own a DVD drive but now you insist on putting the sources on a DVD??? What good is that going to do me???
Stop this troll please ... Is a dvd player that expensive ??
It can be on a laptop. Conversely, how expensive to make an extra cd (or 2) and put it a cardboard carrier? 20 cents US?
times 100,000 copies = $20,000. Yes, it's an issue. We're talking about 10-15% of the total production cost. Any smart business would jump at the chance to save even 5% of the production cost even if it is "only" 20 cents. No pun intended, but it definately makes sense for SuSE to do whatever it can to reduce costs.
