Would it be possible to make for download a DVD-sized image additional 
to tje CD-sized image.


I envisage people who download, download CD or CD+DVD.

Cheap broadband is not available here, and I've seen others say the 
same. However, I can download at work, and others can use vendors or 
LUGs to get their bulk supply.

Stuff in Universe isn't particularly attractive to me as there's so much 
I want (KDE for example).
