This has become a little silly IMO. As far as we (websites) are
concerned the one click to download is just a file name appended to a
mirror's url in an a tag.

All we are trying to do is make it one click to download Fedora.  We
do realize that 'Fedora' comes in more than one flavor. ( part of what
makes it so great is that i can make my *own* fedora )  We have many
options to display correctly to perhaps less than cluefull end users.
Not necessarily an easy task and we cannot not please all users. No
one has or is suggesting we hide our many choices. In fact we, and esp
jaunk_prada, are working hard for the opposite: to make it easy to get
what ever flavor you want; but also not forgetting the new users who
have no idea what to make of the current get-fedora mess.

I personally see nothing wrong with using the i686DVD for this, but
that's because I can go get what I want :-} I will note that while
lots of folks may in fact have a pc that can read DVDs, not near as
many seem to be able to write them as can write CDs.

Do people really think Fedora will get flamed in the press if our one
click download is the gnome based live CD ?  and does that really
change if we use the DVD?

(My 2 silly cents)
