I typically pxe boot and install via ftp or http, so the "have everything in one big directory" model which the os directory and the cd's more or less follow works best. back in the day when the useful stuff was on the powertools cd adding it was allways an extra step that made the install process take longer. when the binary packages stop fitting on a single dvd then I'll be more worried. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel Jaeggli Unix Consulting joelja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GPG Key Fingerprint: 5C6E 0104 BAF0 40B0 5BD3 C38B F000 35AB B67F 56B2
