there is a special "debian-cd"-Package for this task, located in main/admin/debian-cd_1.0.0.deb (8742 bytes, Aug 25 1997) but this is based on building an official Debian-1.3.1-CD-ROM - set. Up to now (March 16th '98), it seems that no new "debian-cd"-Package for Debian 2.0 is currently provided. I did the job on my own, and burned a "prehamm binary CD" on March 9th '98, which mirrors the current unstable/(main|contrib|non-free)/binary-i386-trees of my nearest Debian-Mirror-FTP-Server. The size of the CD-Image ist almost "CD-ROM filling" root:~# du /cdrom | sort -nr | head -20 640780 /cdrom 507159 /cdrom/main/binary-i386 109487 /cdrom/non-free/binary-i386 24122 /cdrom/contrib/binary-i386 Considering the fact that I noticed about 80 MByte new or updated Debian- packages after my CD-burn until the freeze date, I wonder if the hamm-deve- lopers plan to restrict the combined sizes of main|non-free|contrib to the CD-ROM-Size 650 MByte (not to forget the disks-i386 and certain utils like loadlin and rawrite).
