I installed a second CD rom drive in my computer. Some people have CD
'changers' that can have 3 - 5 disks in the stack. (Some of these
take up several drive letters in windows/dos...do they appear as
separate lun's in scsi or separate partitions under linux????)
There should be support for prompting the user to swap disk. If there
is more than one CD rom drive, then dpkg/dselect/apt/? should just go
to the right disk (previously mounted).
Or distribute on DVD rom and don't worry (till Debian
grows to 4.7gb!!!!)
------------------------------------------------------
I guess that we all have realized that slink doesn't fit on
one CD anymore.
Slink's total size for binary-i386 e.g. is 749 MB.
Thus slink has to be splitted over two official cd roms.
Currently slink doesn't contain an access method that
can handle multiple cd roms if not all cd-roms are
available at the same time.
How are we going to handle this?
I know that Heiko Schlittermann has developed a multi-cd
package that provides a new access method for dselect but
needs a patch for dpkg-scanpackages.

Joey
