Well, there's nothing "hard" about it just so long as you give the
package user a Satisfactory Installation Experience(tm) from CD #1 of
the mainstream CD and whatever CD(s) are package/port related on the
toolkit CD by preserving dependencies and making "popular" stuff easy
to install.  I was simply stating it in detail and am very pleased to
hear that you say it'll be an easy task - I'll be able to give you
preliminary size information for the 3.0 CD products the first week of
October, when I start doing my first serious test runs.  In fact, I'll
just do the release building on a freebsd.org machine (rather than
time.cdrom.com, my usual build box at home) and we can combine our
testing efforts.
