+<PRE>Le mercredi 27 octobre 2010 &#224; 21:13 -0400, andre999 a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Why not have &quot;one&quot; ISOs on &quot;small&quot; DVDs ?
+</I>&gt;<i> Say 1G, 1,5G instead of 4,7G
+</I>&gt;<i> We don't have to insist on CDs.
+</I>&gt;<i> Maybe call them &quot;one plus&quot; ISOs ?
+</I>
+This was said numerous time in the past , but I guess not enough since
+people keep asking for it.
+
+There is people who ask for cd, in brazil, angola or other country with
+slightly less developed hardwares at their disposition.
+
+So to satisfy them, cd isos still need to be used.
+
+&gt;<i> Localising the package descriptions shouldn't take a lot of space,
+</I>&gt;<i> compared with localising the software included.
+</I>
+Take a look at the number I gave :
+&quot;Synthesis is 750 k big, hdlist is 46 m big.&quot;
+
+So what you want would requires a third format for indexes, because
+hdlist is too big and not flexible enough, (iirc), and synthesis is
+unsuitable too by design ( that just value separated by @ ). Synthesis
+is more ever quite fragile, and adding description would surely break it
+(imho).
+
+&gt;<i> I really don't understand the real advantage of separating the package
+</I>&gt;<i> description from the package. To save 1% of ISO space ? At what price
+</I>&gt;<i> complexity ?
+</I>
+As said, the synthesis format take less space than the complete format.
+So for 45 mo, yes, the complexity of having 2 formats is worth.
