The question is: What can we take down from the distro instead? I don't want to go to another CD...
some remarks:
* cd's are going to be less and less necessary, it's nowaday nearly impossible to find a (new) cdreader/writer, dvd is going to be the standard
* cd's for OSS version are there only for all the ones that haven't a dvd reader or/and can't dowload a dvd and don't have a permanent link. Debian is 10 cd's, why not SUSE?
* so why not an other cd? the real problem is what must go on one cd and what on an other.
it could be nice to have cd's for console (server) apps, one for kde and another for gnome, but I wonder if this is really possible. the goal is to download only the necessary ones...
Yes, this is an idea I've been toying with myself. Have a development CD etc. The problem is that this needs some extra work to support it properly, I'll have to think of a technical solution so that it's easy to do this... On the other hand, I prefer to not have 10 CDs for each alpha out there, this would be something for the final product only.
