Not all live images are going to be too large to fit on a CD. It was the
Desktop image that changed. KDE looks like it just barely fits. XFCE and
LXDE are other possible desktop like spins that will fit on a CD. The
Security spin might be another good choice.

Depending on their situation, custom spins might also be an option.
