From: sherlock@vsnl.com Just splitting the cd wont help. U will also require to maintain the packages in the right order if you wanna use a cd install. So you will have to get the packages.gz file for each cd and copy only those packages from the dvd to a partition, then use dpkg - scan package to create the new packages.gz file, then burn the lot to cd. Quite a pain. I dont know of a simple method. Of course a perl or bash script could automate the whole process. But i find dvd to be better by far.
Hence, my simple answer ;)
