I am now attepmtping to figure out how to place this on CD to give to him to use. The full download was 1.1GB, with 900MB in the packages directory. There are 1749 packages in the All directory, with softlinks from all the other directories. I tried splitting up the directories and maintaining all dependencies, and ended up with 1.6GB of data, and still not low enough to burn onto two CD's. (a 1GB disk and a 640MB disk, 500MB more than before and no better off) My question then is, how does one get these onto CD so that a CD-install is possible? Thanks for your help.
