[Ambassadors] Default media size

[frankpeter2010 at yahoo.com]

Based on the sincere appeal  made by Oku Onyeibo, I suggest that provision of the low-memory boot-able life CD should be made so that It would be a little easy/cheap for us african ambassadors to download.

I also want to know what would be added to the media that would increase the memory space to DVD size...

please whatever decision prevails.  Keep in mind, that for those in
Africa, internet can guzzle a sizeable percentage of an average worker's
salary.  If someone is going to sponsor my internet, anything DVD sounds
fine, ... else its terribly scary.  LiveCDs are easier to download and
come in handy for beta testing.  Anything in the category of Gigs will
definitely restrict me to release-only media.
