I really don't like not having a CD sized image; this has all been discussed in the past on the list. It's unfortunate conflation that the larger distributable DVD == anaconda OS; removing that conflation would allow us to have a larger image that included openoffice and of course any other popular apps and extensions. This path would be extending the anaconda live installer to be able to *also* optionally consume RPMs from the DVD image for install, or actually, just default to a regular RPM installation, and duplicate the space between the live image and the included RPMs for the base. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
