TeX CD

[Sebastian Rahtz]

Despite the lack of public comment from me, the TDSized CD (now called
"TeX Live") is nearly done. I shall be sending it for pressing next
weekend, ie in about 5 days time. If anyone wants to see the current
contents, see CTAN:info/tdscd/FILES.{ls-r,find}. There is still time
to change it, but not much.

What  may be of interest to people here is the categorisation of
packages into "collections". The install program gets these from the
CD and onto local hard disk for you, and for each collection offers
you 3 types: "basic", "recommended" and "other". I append the list of
collections, and packages, in them (for contents see
CTAN:info/tdscd/lists.tar.gz), where 1, 2 and 3 are the types.

You will see that the distinction between "recommended" and "other" is
really my personal judgement (with input from Thomas). I'd appreciate
any (constructive!) thoughts to make this better. 

the CD goes on sale in Paris on May 29th
