I see you s/programs/packages/ here. I was wondering if it would not be better to use packages instead of programs more often in general in this README... Only disadvantage is that "programs" also at least somewhat covers the installer. I have some problems with your proposal too though, especially the second half. Maybe combine the two? "During the installation you will be prompted for the location of a network mirror from where additional packages will be retrieved." > I think we've grown too much to claim that anything after disc#1 is > just "special-interest". Is there better wording for this? Yes, I agree. Maybe: "It is unlikely that you will need all of the TOTALNUM disks in the set. The higher the number in the set, the less likely it is that you will use any of the packages that are included; higher-number images contain mostly special-interest programs." > Cool otherwise. Oh, should we maybe mention synaptic/adept/whatever as > well here? Yes. "If you choose to install a graphical desktop environment, other package management programs (such as synaptic) can be used as well."
