Not happy with this solution.
DVDs / the full set of packages is so *not* needed.

Downoad 4GB just to have 3GB obsoleted in a few months. :-((

Just create USB-editions of the english only media with additional languages.

So what fits into 700MB en-US only, will fit into <1GB for all languages.

As was written numerous times: Most people don't burn actual CDs
anymore, but rather put the image onto usb-sticks.

ciao
Christian
