The original idea was that the CDs would contain a single disc number and the DVDs would contain the disc numbers of the _CDs that they contain the contents of_. Which yeah, means you can't quite fully fill the DVD but that was seen as the lesser of the evils. And then asking for CD 2 would mean "whatever contains the contents of CD2" and the DVD could be labeled with "Fedora DVD 1 (contains CDs 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5)" Jeremy _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
