But the question I asked before that still hasn't been answered,
is how big
is Extras right now? It looks (probably quite desceptively) relatively
small when looking at the directory on
download.fedora.redhat.com. Does
the sum total for Core and Extras really add up to more than the 4.7 GB
that a DVD would provide? Do you really even need two DVD images to get a
complete install?
$ du -sh core/development/i386/os/ extras/development/i386/
3.6G core/development/i386/os/
4.7G extras/development/i386/
I'm in the "don't like lots of spins" camp (I don't want to have to
burn
a Desktop DVD, a KDE DVD, a Developer DVD, and a Server DVD just to
avoid burning a 2-DVD "full" set), but I also see the issue with an
explosion of CDs.
However: who says CDs and DVDs have to be the same "spins"? Have a
"desktop" slimmed-down CD spin as the CD set and a "full" spin as the
DVD set.
