By the way, I'm curious: if you're installing Linux on someones computer,
and if you install all the packages (or most of them), why do you need
to give them the actual CDs? Unlike Windows, reinstallation of Linux is
not a typical experience. If a single package is missing, getting it from
the IGLU mirror (for example) is usually just as easy as taking it from the
CD.

Sure, giving people the CDs is a great thing (maybe they can spread the
Linux "virus" around!), but if it turned out too hard, don't feel too
bad if you didn't manage to give CDs to everyone - they will get along
without them. In a few months, the version they got will be obsolete
anyway.
