The whole point of a 1 CD install is to have it on 1CD so that it becomes really cheap to mass produce for marketing events to give away like hot cakes. I have personally no interest producing anything larger, if anyone here wants to, you are free to do so ;)

#I will see if I find the time to make one DVD from all the CD's, but only #if I find the time. :-D #Seriously, I really like the 1 CD and I hope (open)SUSE will use it as the #first CD. They need to just put the different packages on different CD's, #so no overlap of the 1 CD instalation is happening. The moment you add #software, you need additional disks. #-- #houghi #http://www.opensuse.org/index.php/Making_a_DVD_from_CDs I have used Houghi's procedure to create one DVD from all CD's. It is flawless. I took his procedure and created a Makefile so I can customize it for our needs and my more technically challenged customers. The problem is that in a large organization, not everybody has a DVD reader in their machine and getting approvals for upgrades is not easy (cost of the DVD-not an issue, expensive technical staff time to install, support issues with the vendors and leasers of the hardware-now I have to go to legal). My thinking with the one CD is to send that to my users. Then remotely, via FTP, install whatever packages we have developed in-house plus those packages that did not fit into the 1_CD. My approach, take the 1 DVD, copy into an FTP directory, run yast remotely on 1_CD installed system. Not ideal but might the get the work done. I ran into problems doing this but I think the answer is either in the "Network Installation Sources" or "Installation Sources" HowTo documents that I just printed and I am reading. I DO like the idea of somehow running some kind of a script on the newly installed 1_CD system to complete the installation via FTP.
