Add in extra testing and support for the extra CD variants too. I'd be personally much happier if we just warned people that they need at least the first 2 CDs (or the first DVD) to get a full selection of the available tasks. As time goes on and each desktop env adds more bloat^Wfeatures, it becomes more and more difficult to get them to fit on CD#1. Frans reminds me that we're about to regain some space by dropping kernel 2.4, but even so we have to call a limit somewhere... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
