    Optional CD's like Fedora?

    Is there any plans to release CD's for downloads with Packages on it like Fedora does?
    I am asking cause I know of a couple of institutions that would want to play with a distribution but they have no internet connection.
    I get this so often. "So where do I find apps?" , "On the Net" "But I dont have a connection" A lot of these people are interested in PC's and learning but they come from a disadvantaged background and can afford the luxury of internet.

    I would go and install it for them but even by downloading a DEB and then running it from CD doesnt work most of the time.

    I think it will be a good thing esp, after Hoary release.

    From what I've seen so far Hoary will have one install CD (like warty) and there will be a DVD which includes additional packages. There are no signs that there will be more than one CD, but I guess that doesn't make any sense for hoary right now, so everything is still open.

    GREAT! THat sounds like a even better idea.
    For those who dont have dvd roms, if you want I'll break the apps up so that they will fit on say 4 cd's.
    And try post it on a mirror.
