Long ago, we planned on a CD per host with duplication of the RTEMS
files
on each CD.  We were hoping to do a LInux+RTEMS CD1 and Cygwin/Solaris
tools
on CD2 but I don't think that will work.

Linux Tools    --> 397,000 K
Solaris Tools  --> 308,940 K
Cygwin Tools   --> 405,212 K
contrib        -->  26,284 K
Misc at Top    -->  13,040 K (includes RTEMS but no docs)
Doc            -->  10,324 K (old tarball, compressed version)
Doc Browseable -->  46,848 K (old browseable, untarred of above)

So I am not sure how it will be broken across CDs now.  It is
about 1,285,160 K which is actually slightly over 2 CDs if my math is
right.  So it might be Linux+RTEMS, Cygwin+RTEMS, Solaris+RTEMS in a
3 CD set.

>From our perspective, we would rather ship a single multi-CD set.  It is
easier to keep up with.  Feedback is definitely appreciated on how to 
break things across the CDs.

Me too. :)
