everything is right there on that one DVD. (Or one of the seven
CD's!)  And in this age of the sub-$100 40Gb disk and DVD drives
appearing on most new PC's, there really isn't a reason not to
just tell it to install *EVERYTHING*.

------------------
I had no idea that it was out on dvd... That is quite different.
My main problem with Suse has been that I don't know exactly which
packages I 'need'.  With Redhat/Caldera/Debian/Mandrake(less
so)/Slackware, I can choose everything and wind up with about 1.5 gigs
tops.  Suse has always required lots of discs to achieve a similar
everything installed result - 7 cds now...  With the advent of a
dvd based distribution, all that I would have to worry about is the
7gigs of space on my HD, which really isn't that big of an issue
anymore.  Finally, I guess it's not that bad.  Didn't mean to dis the
distro man!
