I agree that a cd two install would be good and have packages available from online. However I think there does need to be an option for a full cd set download. I do many installs that are on machines with no internet connection and also do jobs onsite where there is only a dialup option. Many people I speak to say that they would have tried suse except for the need to download packages from an ftp server on install has stopped this as the install was a nightmare.Send fedora-devel-list mailing list submissions to fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx

I know this will be an unpopular suggestion, but 300MB is a lot to loose. So I'm just throwing this out there.....
KDE by my estimates is 350mb, move it into extras.
Cheers,

Hi all,
Here's a heads up that we need to get rid of about 300M of packages to
make sure that FC4 continues to fit on 4 CD's. Right now eclipse, xfce,
If the number of cd's is getting too much - why not refer onto dvd installs as most machines these days have them and this would then reduce the amount of disks to two and provide the cd download for people who required it.
Please feel free to comment.
