Dear Sebastien, All,

This makes me think that since the optical drive is becoming less common,
as in netbooks, perhaps we should start looking at what the numbers
actually are. How many Installs are done from CD's? Home many Ubuntu
installs exist on systems where no CD drive is present vs. where it is
present.

I do sense that this will will not change so fast but perhaps because there
are so many installations that are done from USB sticks, then perhaps there
could be another image, one that has more software and is larger, for
example, one that fits a 1GB usb sticks.

Although I think that if we go that route then we can go for 2GB, at least,
because I rarely see less than that in a USB stick.

Thanks and Blessings,
Shahar
