I just looked at another tiny point: $ df /cdrom Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/hdd 663260 663260 0 100% /cdrom Does anyone know how much fits on one CD? I'd guess this one (InfoMagic's Debian CD) is quite close to the limit. On the CD there is a project directory: $ du project/ 13393 project/experimental 640 project/misc 14036 project I guess this could be done away with. If you want to use experimental stuff, you probably should get updates from the internet quite regularly. Imo, a CD should be a solid, working set of packages that you can rely upon. In the README.cds file in the root, it specifies which files to omit when making a one-CD distribution of the stable release. I think the project directory should be omitted. However, as it stands, it won't be possible anymore to put Debian on one CD within a short period of time. It should probably be suggested to put binary and source directories on separate CD-s. Also it appears possible that the current omissions are due to the fact that these packages simply didn't fit on the disk. In that case, Infomagic should have noticed it. Any thoughts on this one?
