	That is precicely the problem - we have around eleven different
	binary architectures (including m68k, mipsel, mipseb, sparc,
	sparc64 etc). We cannot fit all binary precompiled packages for
	all architectures on a sane number of CDs. We might be able
	to fit a couple of precompile packages for all architectures
	on the main CD, and just the source on the second CD.
