Hi all,
I think the idea of removing some packages from the DVD is no good. Firstly, what ever you choose, someone will suggest something else. Secondly, the amount you will free, is such limited that you will only postpone the inevitable. You will back at square one in some months time.
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 ?
I like the idea.
In the bad-old-days, there were recipes to combine multiple CD's into a DVD. It can be revived to group multiple DVD's into a multi-layer (not that much expensive) or a even BR. (Even dual-layer BR's, holding 50GB are not extremely expensive anymore :-)
Or into a single USB stick. Interesting. An alternative would be a single DVD image, "burned" into a usb stick, but in a manner that we could add somehow extra rpms that we like to the same stick, downloaded locally from the repos, and somehow modify the installation image so that it finds and use them. Perhaps via "add local repo". This method would not add any extra load on the mirrors. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
