You missed my original mail. I do not mind carrying 5 CDs around. But
currently cooker is one large pile of packages without any subdivision
into CDs. That is the problem. If cooker was divided in RPMS, RPMS2,
RPMS3, ... there were no problem - you could write every one on CD mark
them CD1, CD2 and here you are. But currently cooker does not fit on CD
:-( That makes it hard for some people to carry around.
