Has anyone looked at the possibility of having a shared CD or two between the x86_64 and i386 installs? There's 412300KiB of noarch packages which are present in both x86_64 and i386, and 436108KiB of i[36]86 packages in the x86_64 tree. If a package ordering can be found which allows a bunch of those to go onto a CD which is shared between x86_64 and i386 installations, we get to lose a CD out of the set without running around like headless chickens trying to excise useful packages to make the i386 tree smaller. -- dwmw2
