IIRC, the CDs (which disappeared at one point, only to re-appear again)
contain the same content as the DVD, only broken into bite-sized (CD)
pieces.

have a specific table of contents which is decided by the what can fit
on the DVD.  Everything else get shunted to the Everything repo.

Which is why Everything is the repo configured after the install.
