I do not see the distinction between 2 DVDs and a base install DVD plus on-line archive for online distribution. In fact in terms of bandwidth usage the latter is probably a lot more sensible, there are a lot things I do not want to use which are available, and I am not very impressed with the implicit suggestion that I should download a whole load of stuff do not want to get the stuff I need. Published CDs are a different issue (and I believe these include more anyway).
