I mean, one of the reasons I use a full distribution like fedora is that I
don't want to run around with cd's all the time. I want everything
available on my development machine immediately and I'm perfectly fine
with spending a measly 6-20gig to hold it. Those extra gigabytes are much
cheaper than my every needing to hunt down cd's so that I can (re)install
some obscure tidbit that I might suddenly need in 6 months. Or worse,
doing it every 10 minutes for the first few weeks of using the
installation.
I can understand wanting a minimal install for an installation for an
embedded or vertical app, but that's no reason to eliminate the fat
install. Surely there must be an alternative.
Try Paul Howarth's

least you won't need the CDs or a fast Internet connection to do yum
installs.
