One of the reasons I have always preferred SuSE over Red Hat, Mandrake and other media distros is that just about everything is included. But, in SuSE 9.2, the system lacks some packages on the CDs and the multi-layered DVD may not be readable on all DVD readers.
Considering the recent price increase, would it have cost that much to add a 6th CD to cover the additional Packages? I think that would be cheaper than putting in a new DVD reader on some of these older machines (like mine).
There are around 1.5GB of packages on the DVD that aren't on the CDs (not counting the x86_64 stuff and sources). I think it would have to be 3 CDs to cover it
