What do you mean when you say it "will only clutter the space"?
By this I mean to say that if we give 4 gb pre-installed stuff then menu and workspace will be too cluttered. It will be hard to find the application you want to work upon.
Really? Have you tried? Have you tried with some first-time user? I don't know so I'm asking.
What makes you say it will confuse the user? Have you actually tried giving users two DVDs, one with software preinstalled and one with RPMs in local repo and asking which they find less confusing or are you just guessing?
A few months ago a local LUG here created a custom Live DVD from a mainstream Linux (wasn't fedora). The size was about 2gb. Although regular users managed but feedback from newbies wasn't so positive regarding the overall ease of use.
Was it specifically because there were too many applications installed or was it something else?
