there are still a lot of symlinks from slink to hamm. /debian/dists/slink$ du -sckL */binary-i386/ 112169 contrib/binary-i386 769521 main/binary-i386 5727 non-US/binary-i386 160401 non-free/binary-i386 1047818 total non-free and non-US don't matter for the CD, but main is 769MB and contrib is 112MB. i think what we need is a kernel driver for swappable CDs - some sort of CD jukebox emulator. or apt could be made to do this without any kernel hacks. just for curiosity's sake, editors, x11, doc, and devel seem to be the largest sections. /debian/dists/slink$ du -sckL main/binary-i386/* | sort -n 447 main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 858 main/binary-i386/hamradio 1298 main/binary-i386/electronics 1518 main/binary-i386/Packages 1870 main/binary-i386/shells 3733 main/binary-i386/news 3873 main/binary-i386/misc 4883 main/binary-i386/comm 9682 main/binary-i386/admin 9987 main/binary-i386/otherosfs 12022 main/binary-i386/base 15255 main/binary-i386/mail 15700 main/binary-i386/web 17173 main/binary-i386/oldlibs 17376 main/binary-i386/sound 17709 main/binary-i386/utils 20971 main/binary-i386/net 21904 main/binary-i386/libs 22815 main/binary-i386/games 25151 main/binary-i386/graphics 25155 main/binary-i386/interpreters 38269 main/binary-i386/tex 41465 main/binary-i386/math 45991 main/binary-i386/text 69621 main/binary-i386/editors 70242 main/binary-i386/x11 82342 main/binary-i386/doc 172210 main/binary-i386/devel 769520 total craig -- craig sanders
