It : would contain Linux, 386BSD and X11R5 in source and binary form. : that would be nice if they all can fit into 500 Megabyte. Since the X11 and Gnu can only fit onto one CDROM, but these include Sparc binaries as well. I'm afraid we have to decide which one. I would prefer that the X11 and GNU sources and binaries be included, rather than having linux and 386bsd, together and miss some other utilities.
