We don't include source on the CD itself, because it doesn't anywhere
near fit; the source takes up a CD and a bit, in fact. A mirror of the
set of source packages producing the set of binary packages on the CD is
currently the most straightforward approach.

We do, sort of, but it's raw and untested at the moment.

However, you're right that source ISO images would be useful in some
contexts, and they've been on my to-do list for a while. I'll see what I
can do about them today.

Cheers,
