I know that this isn't the right place, but I try. What about people without a DSL connection? They can download core isos ( that are more frequently released ) from university or at work, it's right.. but how they can download all the packages in /extra? Have we a plain for these situation (like a iso with-all, using a dvd)?
Excuse me if this was recently discussed. Links are appreciated :D
This was discussed, but it wasn't covered in a public manner all that well. The rough plan, at this point, would be to create *additional* ISOs with sets of packages. This was suggested around the proverbial water cooler, but was never really laid out all that well. Here's what I see, and I will bring this up with the rest of the developers, to see what they think, but I do agree it is something we didn't fully address before doing this. I personally feel we could make one or two addon disks which JUST have packages for people to download. Or, alternatively, throw some scripts out there so people can make a package iso simply... or hell, even both. What do the rest of the devs think?
