I prefer the option that CD can install a complete desktop. Probably, 
that would be equivalent to Ubuntu in package selection.

Arguably it should also be able to install common server configurations.

Further CDs would add KDE and other stuff not on the first CD.

This would result in the same (or equivalent) package selection as at 
present, but provide the convenience of a one-CD install for those who 
like it.

A network is fine, but one cannot rely on it.
