Comments from Colin on that are very welcome.
Just a note concerning powerpc. Most recent powerpc hardware come with slot-loading optical drives. This means that keeping the businesscard and netinst images small to fit in the businesscard and netinst medias, apart from being probably a doomed effort, is not all that useful in itself, as business card CDs are useless with slot-loading drives. It is usefull to keep those images relatively small, but given their current size, growing from 250 to 300 MB or whatever it is, will probably pass un-noticed. So, i would vote for always including the g-i images onto the business card, netinst and cd isos, with the same caveat as on i386 concerning the installable tasks of CD 1. DVD medias should be un-problematic though. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
