The Copyleft Standard Debian 5.0.0 Disc sets
The Standard sets are based on the Debian multi-desktop series which enable the installer to choose between Gnome, KDE, LXDE and Xfce desktops prior to installation.
The standard sets have a simplified boot menu, the placement of the packages has been revised and non-free has been included.
==The package placement order - dependencies etc are included.
---essential and basic packages which I consider important
---all packages associated with a task
- - - All these are included on the first four CDs.
---non-free docs. A number of free packages have non-free docs.
- - - The above are included on the first five CDs
---the non-free packages which I consider important, about 66%
The non-free packages pull in a good number from "main".
- - - The above are included on the first DVD.
---The rest from non-free
---packages not yet placed listed in "popularity-contest"
---the rest of the packages in the archive.
The first CD can be used for a network installation of the chosen desktop. It cannot be used for anything else by itself.
The "main" archive is made up of the free packages. It is by far the largest section of the archive.
"popularity contest" ranks the packages according to their popularity. The statistics are gathered from users who are part of the popularity contest team.
A considerable percentage of the documentation for packages in main are not free and so are included in non-free. The CDs use 700mb media.
