>Description:
The handbook unequivocially decrees that the project makes available
two CDROM images as part of each release. This isn't really true, though
-- for one thing, there are N images <em>per architecture</em>.
Additionally, we have a miniinst.iso as well as disc1 and disc2.
Ken Smith recently noted that the amd64 monthly snapshots have been overflowing
disc1 (without packages), so I don't know if that will push out a disc 3 as well.
