To give you an impression let me give you a list of packages on build112 DVD sorted by size:
72M noarch/kernel-source-2.6.30-4.1.noarch.rpm
Second thought here. How long after release is the kernel updated on average? Within a month tops?
Most of the time you have to get it online anyway for an updated kernel. Maybe it isn't particularly useful to have it on the media at all.
Well, in the past it was very important because the first thing people do with a new install (so I was told) is compiling random kernel drivers. Now we have kernel-default-devel, which replaces kernel-source in that role, but the DVD lists are not yet updated.
And getting 72MB from online is - well, 72MB on the line. If you get the released version from DVD and only download the updates, you are in the range of 10MB (and that's already 2 updates since 11.1)
Greetings, Stephan
