Dear Petter, I think you are using a valid Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE): debian-edu-etch-source-DVD-3.0r0.iso 0,12 8 debian-edu-etch-powerpc-netinst-3.0r0.iso 0,06 4 debian-edu-etch-i386-netinst-3.0r0.iso 2,15 138 debian-edu-etch-*-DVD-3.0r0.iso 97,67 6278 Total 100,00 6428 Given 142 downloads of netinst CDs resulting in 48+14=62 installations (ratio: 0.44), and persuming the same download-install ratio for 6278 DVD downloads observed, we get even 2741 installations resulting from that. There might be only two flaws: The ratio of netinstallations might deviate from DVD installs, and your netinstall-logger will also observe installations from CDs that have been distributed from foreign sources (direct copies, mirrors etc.). Thinking about it, netinst-CD will mostly be used with clients (many), DVDs will mostly be used for servers (few). Let's hope that PopCon tells us more one day... ;) Kind regards Ralf.
