Include packages.txt on the CD/DVD?

Any chance of having the (appropriate) packages*.txt file included on the disc? I think a good place would be in the KNOPPIX/ directory, where the cheatcodes.txt files lives. Or is it somewhere already and I just missed it?

It always seems to be included in the files that come down with the BitTorent download. It might be handy to actually include on the disc, but space is always a concern on the CD.

Yes, I am aware that it comes in through BT. You can also get it from any of the ftp mirrors. I am aware of the problems involved with getting KNOPPIX to fit, especially on the CD, but I thought in this case it might not be that much of a problem. If it is, how about compressing it? Actually, how about compressing all the KNOPPIX/*.txt files on the CD at least?
Just a thought ...

Given that Knoppix contains about 2 gig of files on a 700 meg CD, the files are compressed. Nothing would be gained by compressing the files individually before compressing the whole ball of wax.
