Distribution sizes

[Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX]

When operating system distributions had to fit on a spool of paper tape,
144000 bytes was a limit to worry about.

With DVD blanks selling for little more than the price of CD blanks,
is there a need to limit the size of Live disros to 700k?

With double layer DVD blanks and 8 GB USB drives coming down in cost,
is there a need for a 4 GB limit?

With netinst able to rad an ISO file on a hard drive, is there any limit?

Perhaps the solution is a 4 GB install DVD with Xfce and no Gnome/KDE.

On the giant economy size ISO please include Xfce, server and web server
as installable packages alongside the Dev Sys main choice.

The desire here is to minimize the downtime for installing Fedora on a 
server
that is performing useful work.
