That reminds me: the BSDisc has the sources compressed - something
I discovered only after buying it, and which made it basically
useless for me. I wanted it so I could look at the old sources.
If I wanted the sources on disk, I would not have bought the CD!
(Had to use disk space to uncompress the source tar files.)
I hope any CDROM makers will try their best to include all the
sources in non-compressed form!
