Of course. But I don't think that all 4 Debian CDs (for an architecture) are full of the binaries. I believe that the space is used up by the sources. So I think it would be nice if you could just have one binaries CD for each architecture and then have the rest of the CDs for the sources. And I think that one CD would be enough to put the binaries for an architecture. (Even if you put everything -- useful daemons & apps -- they wouldn't eat up all the 600+ MB space; of course, I stand to be corrected). > If you insist on having only one set of CDs Then the only solution I see is > to make by yourself the packages for the architecture you have not got CDs > for. This can be done by using the debianized sources from the CDs that you > do have. This would be too much for me... :-) Oki
