Since the install can't happen unless you're online— why not load
these screenshots over the network on demand?

I was just making fun of an ubuntu desktop install the other day: No
NFS client but >100 mbytes of icons.

None of these decisions exist in a vacuum— if fedora is to include
many megabytes of screenshots in the default install then thats a
great many applications which can't be installed.

For many simple programs a good high resolution screenshot of the
program will be similar in size to the program.
