I was following the thread on what was added to cdrom #1 and your questions was foremost in their minds. What it really came down to, in my mind, was that a (1) cdrom wasn't sufficient. You needed a DVD and that was not a solution. For example, you and I like KDE but there are people out there that would not touch KDE if they were paid to use it and you can not add them all on a single cdrom. You also have to face that fact that a release is not the final solution. It is a starting point. The system has security patches. The ports have security fixes and they are continuously being updated. Any cdrom that you purchase is a starting point and not a destination.
