I've been doing some number crunching and found that their exists about
240mb of programs that could go on the CD, excluding most programming type
software, but including some server software (Apache, MySQL, PHP and
Perl). So I don't think at this stage we need to break them off into
seperate CDs just seperate sections.

(I'll make a breakup of the figure available later today)

On another note at 240mb range we could reasonably include source.
