Not all installation types require 5 CDs.
5 CDs comprises the whole of the Fedora Core distribution.
Sounds plenty conservative to me, compared to Mandriva's 10 CD set or 
something.

What you're wanting is similar to a barebones Windows XP install that 
fits in 550MB on once CD.
Why don't you just move on and forget about Linux rather than spread 
misinformation that installihng Fedora Core
requires 5 CDs?
