They can still download all the CD's they want. This effort doesnt
prevent you from doing that.

Thats what we need to figure out...
You could put all the common software needed by multiple targets onto
one/more CD's. Also, none of the CD's need to be full ! eg: the server
stuff might only be half a CD, but this is cool, it saves download time/
storage space. But if you do need specific stuff from the target you did
not choose, you would decide to either download the whole iso, or just
individual packages.
