(At the very least, stop worrying about how many CDs core fills and worry about fitting on one DVDR...) Especially with yum backed network installs becoming available. If you don't want to download and burn an entire DVD iso, just download a 10-50mb network install iso. This is what I do with debian on the rare occasion I install a system from scratch. Since I only install a system once every few years, its a huge waste to me to download and burn 5+ disks that I'm only going to use once. Someone on IRC was arguing that in many parts of the world, bandwidth is very expensive. I don't see how 5 CDs to download vs a DVD make a difference here. The real question is, how common are DVD burners, and most importantly, DVD readers in various parts of the world. I suppose the thing to do is keep an eye on CD downloads vs DVD. Let the community decide.
