IIRC it's intended to provide the packages necessary to set up a basic
system, and so, for example, includes xorg but not KDE or Gnome. (You can
check out the package list by looking at the idx file for the version - 32
or 64 bit - you plan to install.) I'm not sure if you can do that with just
CD1 of the CD set. I've never tried it.

I think that emergency re-animation charge Gort gave you fifty years ago
is finally wearing down. Better see him about a new charge. Say, who
handles Gort's software updates, anyway?
(Those who don't get the reference, get a copy of "The Day The Earth
Stood Still" and watch it.)

Don't you just hate it when you make the same mistake over and over,
just KNOWING you're right? Sigh. I know *I* do.

Wasn't sure, that's why I asked for others to verify since I never had a DVD
burner before.

Unknown, as always.

Gort and brethern are autonomous, self updating.
