I used to think this but then I thought that it was much easier
to have 5 CD's that would install the distro on any box that I owned
rather than the slackware way of having what 20 plus different install
disks and just having to pick fromt the right one.
Besides I just use the credit card install image and boot off it
these days. One CD to build any debian box. Well two if you don't have a
net connection handy to install off.
