In the powerpack there are some dual sources/binary packages, moreover some main packages are prensent on commercial CD to fullfill them, but more or less 3 700 MB CDs are enough (boxed version are with 695 MB CDs) >> however standard pack will be >> focused on new user with only desktop applications, so that they will not >> be lost choosing amongst devel or servers packages in rpmdrake. > > How many CDs is that? 2 >> Regarding download edition, I guess that we will stuck in 3 CDs versions. >> Most people only download 1 or 2 of them anyway. > > Do the CDs covering main in the powerpack, and the CDs in the standard > pack, correspond to Download Editions CDs? If so, which ones? No. Each of them are different pack. however none of the package of the download or the standard are not prensent in powerpack. Standard contains mainly desktop/office/multimedia/games applications. Download contains nearly everything except some big mandrake_doc files (the drakxtools help subpackages are included though) and extra packages such as devel or other big aspell dictionnaries. >> I think that a 4 CDs download could be a brake for people that wanted >> to test it, except if we manage to make it clear that only one CD is >> enough to have a basic system, which is not even really true as most >> of translation packages are on CD 3. > > If people only download one or two usually anyway, is there harm in > having 4?
