You will have to divide packages up into several catagories, so you can spread them over two (or even more) dvd's (desktop / server ?) What is so bad about multiple DVD's ?
It's so pointless. The point of the DVD is to have a compromise between those that have fast network and prefer network installations and those that have slow internet and prefer small downloads, but still want software. So you have to pick - telling the ones with slow network just to download 3 DVDs is not going to work. I'm fine with redefining the 2 addon CDs as one addon DVD and put e.g. texlive back on a medium. That doesn't solve the pure problem - we need to pick what's on the installation DVD.
Actually, it would work. I have a slow internet, so that downloading the dvd (with other jobs running) takes two or three days. To me it is an advantage to download everything in advance, two dvds, perhaps three, as compared to having to use online repos during the installation. The critical phase is installation or upgrade, with no internet. That has to go fast. The dvd can take ages to download, no big problem. And my idea is that only the first dvd be mandatory, the rest are optional, like repos. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
