In my experience, many users with restricted bandwidth actually prefer a
*larger* install image, as then they at least have a databank of
software available without an internet connection. They will often
acquire a DVD image from someone with a faster connection, or just by
buying a DVD through the post or whatever, and then they can install
most everything they need without using the internet connection. This is
not possible with the restricted range of software available on the live
image.
