We are only about half-way towards filling the first DVD. When free space on
the first DVD runs low then we can look into limiting things.
Maybe we should consider having a CD for things that don't change much such as
TeX and Tuxracer? Would it be possible to have ~500M of packages not change
in any significant or required manner for several Fedora releases?
Ok since CVS hasnt happened yet, and Extras isnt happening until after
CVS.. maybe the FC3 development plan could change a bit. Mark everything
in the core that is to be moved to Extras when the glorious day of CVS
(or wahtever) occurs as deprecated, but ship it in FC3 as non-installed
cd's. IE they are still there.. but make Cdrom 3/4 not part of the
general install but in firstboot when other packages as asked to be
installed. When Extras repository can be brought up and maintained
(FC4/5 ?) then you can drop those cdroms and just focus on the core
items.
