Is there any reason why the commercial apps *have* to go on the free space in the GPL CDs? Is there any reason why a 4th commercial-only CD is a bad idea? As far as I can see, having a 4th CD could have some advantages: 1)Users can buy just the 4th CD (at about half a standard pack?). If all the proprietary drivers are on the 4th CD, any time (winmodem, NVidia, Radeon > 7xxx, speedtouch) a device is found that needs proprietary drivers, this DC could be advertised. 2)The first 3 CDs of GPL and Standard could be identical. Since it would be advantageous to have the hdlists for the commercial software (see (1)) on the 1st CD, and the 3rd CD would be identical, the only difference between Standard and GPL would be the 4th commercial CD. I think this would have some advantages in a number of ways, and don't see why commercial software should restrict the size of the other CDs, when instead it could be used to push up sales (even if only of the commercial software). Of course, if this were to happen, a nice button in MCC would be cool, something like 'Add 4th (commercial) CD software source'.
