Earlier in this 5.3 news thread there was something about the size of files being broken down into smaller units. Is it possible that there is a CD version bundled within the DVD version that could be extracted fairly easily?

Or has anybody else remastered a CD version off of the 5.3 DVD? I noticed that Kanotix actually did have a fairly recent upgrade which was interesting because it sounded like there wasn't going to be anything else coming out of that project after one of the devs split a few years ago.

Oh yeah, and since I'm here posting on 5.3, let me pose a question to anybody who has played with it. The question is this: In the move from 5.01 to 5.11 there were bunch of changes in the locations of some important files from /usr/init.d/ to /usr/sbin. Does that remain the case in 5.3? Personally I've found FTPing into a 5.11 matching problematic. It works sometimes but not others and if I boot the same machine with 5.01 or earlier I have no problems so it seems like something is buggy about this relocation. Any input on that?
I can't speak to most of the issues but I can mention something that happened to me. I needed a copy of the 5.3.1 DVD for another techie and I accidentally slipped in a cd instead of dvd in the burn drive. Voila! And Surprise a working CD of the 5.3.1 disk. It had most of the tools we need immediately and not some of the graphics intensive, but it worked.
