for x86_64 we now have

i686 is ~100MB bigger.

do we want to limit the amount of both repos to fit on a DVD (singlelayer)? this might become hard as pkg size usually raises each release. maybe we can go over that limit but would have keep out packages (e.g. i18n) from DVD releases.

opinions?

Does squashfs get us anything on a DVD? Can we store way more than a 4.7GB of data on one DVD? Jason
