Wow, they have a fully self-hosting Fedora distro on a single CD?  I
want to see their compression technology!

More seriously, as I've said now I don't know how many times -- the
problems around a single CD are _ENTIRELY_ non-technical.  They instead
revolve around the fact that one of the big things around Fedora Core is
that we ship is a self-hosting set of packages.  And then the secondary
bit of making the choices of what to put on there.

FWIW, do a CD install of a basic desktop install of FC5 (deselect
office, as OOo is big) in English and I think it only really uses the
first CD.  It'll ask for the second due to a dumb bug, but it doesn't
actually use any bits off of it.

... instead of being off in their own world, it'd be nice if they'd
actually participate on fedora-livecd-list.

Building a live cd isn't that hard.  Building a live cd framework in a
way that's sustainable so that you don't have n people spending a month
or two on it after ever release is the more interesting point.
