However, the constraint being addressed for testing here is "a more-or-less functional image that fits on whatever media the tester happens to have", which means aiming for 700M is a worthwhile target. Maybe we need separate test kickstarts depending on the test profile? Maybe. We'd still have to play a size game. For actual live images, there's still a benefit in aiming small. Seeking on optical media sucks, bandwidth isn't free, etc. So we should really be coming at this from other end: figure out how much space we need to get a reasonable experience, and then see what media target is near that size and tighten our belts if necessary. We could probably do a decent job in a mini-dvd form factor, I suspect. > o Have a very minimal desktop live _CD_ for installs.

Might also help save bandwidth altogether. Yeah, a reasonable rescue CD would be hot. Though again, it's still a size game. Knoppix clocks in at 645M - ajax
