ot bother with the extra CDs. actually, it would increase the scope of debian as a general purpose distribution - there would be something in it for everyone. if we get to the point of having specialty CDs then those who want them will be able to purchase them from specialty vendors or download the packages for free from the net. craig -- craig sanders
