https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=276018 ------- Comment #3 from lrupp@novell.com 2007-06-05 15:52 MST ------- Adding around 30MB to the CDs/DVDs results in removing same size of packages from them. People who use the CD/DVDs and don't have an internet connection loose packages, they will never get back without any benefit. People who install via internet must already have a good internet connection. For people using the online-repo just to get "missing" applications we should find a better solution (what about a better implementation which didn't need so much bandwith? ;-) But perhaps this can be a alternative solution: Looking at debian for example: they come up with three DVDs for each architecture containing mostly all of their official online repositories. So I would prefer to create one or two additional medias (DVD only) containing the stuff from the FTP trees which is currently not on the media. Currently we have in the oss-repo for 10.2: 4.0G i586 12M i686 2.1G noarch 4.0G ppc 19M ppc64 56M repodata 47M setup 3.6G x86_64 14G total => ~7GB for each architecture. => 2 DVDs non-oss repo for 10.2: 350M i586 72M noarch 122M ppc 460K repodata 884K setup 168M x86_64 713M total => ~1GB for each architecture. => Leave it as is (1CD) or add it to the DVDs above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
