The rpms are put on the cd's based on "groups".  The groups are done in 
the following order.  Note that depedencies of these groups go on before 
the groups.

     addGroups(["core", "base", "text-internet"])

     addGroups( ["base-x", "dial-up",
                    "graphical-internet", "editors",
                    "graphics", "gnome-desktop", "sound-and-video",
                    "printing"])

     addGroups( ["office", "engineering-and-scientific",
                    "authoring-and-publishing", "games"])

     addGroups( ["web-server", "ftp-server", "sql-server",
                    "mysql", "server-cfg", "dns-server",
                    "smb-server", "admin-tools"])

     addGroups( ["kde-desktop", "development-tools", "development-libs",
                    "gnome-software-development", "eclipse",
                    "x-software-development",
                    "java-development", "kde-software-development",
                    "mail-server", "legacy-network-server"])

     addGroups( ["news-server", "legacy-software-development"])

You can try it.  It tells you how many cd's you need.

If you only select things from the above list the number of cd's will be 
minimal.
