Actually I have a proposal. Its not for now, may foe the next release.

Well, Some of us got the DVD on Ubuntu nad besically that DVD does not help
people much. The main benefit of a DVD than a CD is to get access to all of
the available language packs.And we all know we only need two Languages,
English and Bangla. The rest of the DVD became a waste in the most of the
cases.

So I think I we can custom made a DVD where we can pacth up the 700 MB CD
installer and 1 or 1.5 GB of commonly used software with dependencies, I
think that will be a lot more helpful and useful for is than a 4 GB DVD
installer. I got that idea from another Ubuntu derivative, called Ubuntu
Muslim Edition ( http://ubuntume.com/contents ). Thay have a DVD version
(2.8 GB only), in which they included Ubuntu-Restricte-Extra, Arabic
Language, Quaran recitation, A bunch of other Islamic and educational
softwares.

So if we can bulid a DVD like that, I think that will be a much more helpful
to general people than 4GBx6 DVD repos.

NB: Plz don't tell me to build one like that. Its out of my tiny tech
knonwledge. :(
