The only reason I was thinking about it:
I understand the reasoning.
Most people try not to download the whole thing. If you only need the first three, then download them. Then you have everything you need to start installing.
I would say most people will download the whole thing. If they were interested in only downloading what they needed, we only would need either boot.iso or CD1. It has been posted before, but I can't find the post now, that the future might be only CD 1-3. Once this becomes official, you will see how many people WILL download the whole thing. The only reason I do it is to test makeSUSEdvd, otherwise I would use either only CD 1 or boot.iso
That should be the first goal, to get the people to installation quickly, without having them using the FTPs for too long.
Quickly? boot.iso or CD1.
Maybe the 3CD-Set torrent (one for 1-3, one for 4+5) would be a good idea. Then everybody would get the first 3CD-Set, and hopefully seed them again. Then this would be an improvement regarding the FTP-Load.
That could be a nice solution. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit. Sie ist das Kostbarste, was wir haben, denn es ist unwiederbringliche Lebenszeit. Leben ist aber mehr als Werk und Arbeit, und das Sein wichtiger als das Tun - Johannes Müller-Elmau
