The boxed set has the combined 32-bit/64-bit version with extra DVD's. It is close to 8.4-GB for that version. I was not aware that you could download the boxed version of the 8.4-GB Dual Layer DVD. If so where?
If one purchases the 8.4-GB version and puts that as an image for YaST installation sources is there anything at the repo's that go beyond that?
