Is it so difficult to understand that we want to *purchase* the 2 DVDs 
in a boxed set and *not* download any full package at all? The only 
download required would be the delta security patches.
This is what is being suggested here, that the boxed set goes back to 
offering all packages from the repository, as in the good old days. 

If offering the second DVD for download is a problem, then include it 
ONLY in the boxed set and all proponents and supporters of this 
enhancement suggestion would be happy.
