Moving forward, we are at a similar point to where CDs were replacing
floppies. 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.
I would propose that SuSE make available through YOU or some other means a
supplemental set of packages for CD users available when the media is
released. I would propose that SuSE continue to provide the 2 DVDs that
they now provide, but they could reduce the number of CDs, and provide some
of the lower priority packages online so that customers who do not have
access to the DVDs can obtain these packages.
In my personal case, I was able to solve the problem by grabbing the
appropriate bits from other sources.
