A few days ago I burned a CD with:
* hamm/main/binary-i386
* hamm/main/binary-all
* hamm/contrib/binary-i386
* hamm/contrib/binary-all
* hamm/main/disks-i386
* hamm/indices
* hamm/doc
+ linux/kernel/v2.1/linux*2.1.90*.bz2
+ linux/kernel/v2.1/patch*2.1.9[1-6]*.bz2
I stripped everything not compressed that has compressed
counterpart (Packages vs Packages.gz) and everything
architechture specific leaving only i386 (for example,
Packages*-alpha*). I'm sure I'm missing something here. The point
is, all this fitted on 620 MB. I didn't include tools, which
should go on the official CD.
I'm not sure how much data fits on a disc, I mean, if one makes
an image that's 649 MB, will that fit? I've read there are a few
seconds (like 5s, roughly 800 kB) on the initial part of the disc
that are not usable, but I don't know if that's already counted
on the 650 MB figure.
