One other thing that would really improve the install experience and
might mesh with this split would be to arrange the files on the CD's
so a typical install would only require the first CD and rarely used
stuff is on 3 and 4. I normally do an NFS install from the downloaded
iso files anyway so it doesn't matter much to me, but it would be nice
to reduce the disk swapping needed for the first install.
A live run-from-cd cut would be good too so people could try new
features before they blow away their old system. The Ubuntu
distribution offers these features and is getting good reviews.
