Desktop cd and stuff like ndiswrapper-utils.

[Andrew Zajac]

I notice that ndiswrapper-utils, build-essential and linux-wlan-ng are not
available on the destop cd.  These are packages that most software modem
users, owners of certain wireless cards or other problematic network
hardware will need when installing.  Otherwise they are caught in a
catch-22, with the packages available to them online, but with no way to get
online without them...

If this is not an oversight (like shipping gcc-4.0 but not gcc-3.4 with
Breezy) perhaps the description of what the alternate cd is used for can be
changed to mention compiling kernel hardware without needing to be online.
Or the inclusion of support for wireless cards using windows drivers.
