To be honest, it seems to me the proliferation of CD's and it doesn't solve the problem. The user would have to download 1 CD and almost surely multiples CD's due to dependencies. I'd stick with one DVD with the current configuration and eventually _reduce_ the number of media by removing the 1-5 CD set, which I don't think is widely used. In other words: - _FULL_ DVD for both architecture - 1 CD install for GNOME and KDE With kind regards, Alberto --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
