Lo all ,

I see that Ubuntu also have a live DVD for download to do the install with. But I can't find info on what it has more than the cd. Obviously it must be packed with a lot more software to be 3.9g

Where can I find info on what is added to the DVD that the cd doesn't have ?

Thanx

I haven't seen a list of what (if any) additional programs are included, but the Alternative Download (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download) page says that the DVD mostly contains additional language packs:

"Don't be confused, even though DVDs can hold far more data than the typical Ubuntu CD, the main benefit of the DVD downloads is to get access to all of the available language packs. Most people will be fine with the standard CD installer. There are fewer download locations for the DVD images and this list is updated less frequently than for the CD images."
