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).
