It looks like none of the dists are likely to be less than two disks from
here on.  When Debian 3.0 releases, it will be on 6 CD's with 2 required for
a 'basic' install.

So the question becomes what do we charge for something other than a 3 disk
set? Price them at $3.50 a disk and round to the next dollar?  Like
$3.50->$4, $7, $10.50->$11, $14, $17.50->$18, $21, etc?  Or $4, $7, $10,
$14, $18, $20?  This is something we need to think about. The sets don't
cost us much in materials, but the time involved in preparing them has to be
worth something.
