However, there's two types of CD -- Live CD and Single Install CD. I'm
happy to solicit the completion of KDE and Gnome Live CDs for Fedora --
but the Single Install CD is another matter. The more I investigate, the
more it appears as though we've painted ourselves into a corner with
firstboot; basically, FC4 is *just too big* (allegedly) to install
happily from one CD. I'm still trying to get a good answer as to why
this is.

I'll look into it too. If first boot is too big for a single install CD,
then firstboot has to go, because the Holy Grail of the single install
CD must be attained....
I'm speculating here because I'm not yet up on the live CD status, but
would a single install disk, while worthy in it's own right, be a
significant launching pad to a live CD?
Hi, I don't have anything against single install CD, but please keep
bloated version of fedora alive. Ubuntu is great distribution, but their
install CD is size-constrained rather than current Fedora's
functionality-dupilication-constrained, so anything developer thinks
doesn't feel worthy is not included in install CD. This unfortunately
result in lack of internationalization and lack of Japanese language
input. Group of Japanese is creating unofficial version of ubuntu to
serve the needs. However as a result of this, developers are now
fragmented and there seems to be no improvement in Japanese support in
ubuntu in foreseeable future.
If fedora is anything but platform for developers and participation,
please take functionality-oriented install CD way. It really doesn't
make sense for me, if some functionality is removed from install CD,
just because it exceeds 640MB.
If fedora is ever going to create single install CD, please take Konppix
way, (i.e., 1CD install disk for English speaking audience only and 1DVD
or 4CDs for standard version) not ubuntu way.
In the end, I feel like I have something against single install CD. haha.
