Huhh?? You need those too to install? Those PowPack CD's aren't the first 3 install CD's?


LOL. In my experience, the real doozy is the contrib CD. Most of us are jaded from having sensible applications that work out of the box - the contrib CD is where we can find the wacky stuff that does things like display your filesystem as 3d towerblocks, compute the rainfall for New Zealand or play a game in which you are a space pilot who has to battle heroically against the screen freezing. Contrib breaks the predicatble boredom of the download CDs and reminds us what computing is really about!
