I don't see how you can read the doc without downloading all the

used to make the livecd and reinstall them.
The LiveCD installer is one of the power features of Fedora 7, i install
all my systems using the LiveCD's and use yum to add extra stuff after
the installation.
You could check Revisor and Cobbler as an alternative provisioning system.
I the doc are removed then all the system is crippled
and the feature is no longer very useful and that will be a shame.
So if someone creates livecd without docs, they should not be installable.
Whether they should be installable is up to the distributor. This
distributor isn't necessarily the Fedora Project, you know.
Whether the distributor wants 1) the docs or 2) his cool 100MB
multimedia shit, really is up to him. If he chooses to have that result
in a 1) non-installable LiveCD or 2) a crippled system when it is
installed from that same LiveCD, really is up to him. If he wants the
system to be 1) installed and non-crippled from a second medium or 2)
crippled-until the next yum update, so be it.
