As long as CD#1 will load enough for a safe tight bootable
configuration I will be happy to have Emacs and Xemacs on any disc.

After the 'central' core and tools are loaded then CD#2...999999 can
be selected and loaded from a running system.

I suspect that in less than 18 months, 64 bit ready packages will fuel a
distribution explosion.  By keeping a goal that CD#1 is sufficient to
fully bootstrap (load) all the other packages there is a chance for
a smooth inclusion of these new generation 64 bit engines into FCn.
And yes I want one (OK two).

BTW: I am typing this inside of X-emacs and I am not angry...
