I like the idea of separate fedora-server, fedora-gnome and fedora-kde CDs, although I think main essential applications like openoffice and firefox should be on the main CD. I think it would be better to split the CDs thus: * fedora-gnome = basic OS + Gnome + main essential applications * fedora-kde = basic OS + KDE + main essential applications * fedora-server = basic OS + server packages * fedora-extras = other popular packages and applications * fedora-devel = All the development libraries and applications that most users never install That way a user can set up a working os with as little as 1 cd.

I think at some point the "CD" needs to shrink down; it's an online world after all, and 5 cd's is just "too much" for people to look up against. In addition to making "the cd set" smaller, another option is to make groups of packages and then have special cds for them like fedora-base (1 or 2 cds with basic OS) fedora-server (all "server only" things such as apache) fedora-gnome (the gnome desktop packages) fedora-kde (the kde desktop packages) fedora-openoffice (the lot of openoffice.org) that way if you don't use kde (or gnome) you don't need to download&burn that CD. Same for openoffice... or you can elect to get that part of the upgrade via the network -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
