Cooker + contrib = 4 to 5 CDs, so contrib and some main packages are missing. >> - 700 MB ISO is OK for you > > Hmm, depends. 700 MB ISOs are a little more expensive and thus I'd > rather use 650 MB ISOs.

Well, powerpack is 7 CDs, using 700 MB is 350 MB more. It is not clear if we will include or not sources in next release, as 90 % of our users will be more happy with more binaries instead of sources and (8.2 problem) not all the main packages included. At least here in France, 700 MB blank discs are at the same price as 650 MB ones, it is even harder now to find 650 MB blank CDs. The main concerns about 700 MB is the hardware problem they may have on some old CDROM drives. > How often do you plan to release a snapshot? Weekly? Daily ;)? Mirrors will not be very happy with daily snapshot. Moreover daily snapshots will be done without testing, and will be broken 9 times over 10, just because you must be careful not building the snapshot in the middle of a KDE upload, or gnome, or whatever groups of packages. Monthly will be more sensible. The goal of these snapshot are more to test very special point, this one is for isolinux, 700 MB iso, KDE3 and gcc 3.1.1. In the future, we may even produce one CD or even 400 MB ISO to test only gnome2, or new kernel, or any other points. -- Warly
