Well, they could easily fit on a CD-R90, and in fact the GNOME-based one already does. The KDE one doesn't (unless you use Mode 2/XA, which means less error checking, so that's probably a bad idea), AFAIK because Sebastian Vahl decided to make use of the extra size of the DVD to enable some additional stuff (locales, mainly). Of course, a CD-R90 is usually more expensive than a regular CD-R and only slightly cheaper than a DVD-R (and as prices vary a lot, may even be more expensive than a DVD-R in some places). > x86_64 binaries are just plain bigger than their i386 counterparts.. and > then there's the multilib thing.

Another solution would be to exclude *.i?86 on the x86_64 live CDs. That would cut down the extra size to a minimum. It would mean no multilib packages on liveinst installations though. But on the other hand, who needs multilib on a live CD?
