Hi, I don't have anything against single install CD, but please keep 
bloated version of fedora alive. Ubuntu is great distribution, but their 
install CD is size-constrained rather than current Fedora's 
functionality-dupilication-constrained, so anything developer thinks 
doesn't feel worthy is not included in install CD. This unfortunately 
result in lack of internationalization and lack of Japanese language 
input. Group of Japanese is creating unofficial version of ubuntu to 
serve the needs. However as a result of this, developers are now 
fragmented  and there seems to be no improvement in Japanese support in 
ubuntu in foreseeable future.

If fedora is anything but platform for developers and participation, 
please take functionality-oriented install CD way. It really doesn't 
make sense for me, if some functionality is removed from install CD, 
just because it exceeds 640MB.

If fedora is ever going to create single install CD, please take Konppix 
way, (i.e., 1CD install disk for English speaking audience only and 1DVD 
or 4CDs for standard version) not ubuntu way.

In the end, I feel like I have something against single install CD. haha.
