Can we fit *ubuntu into one CD?

[Martin Otten]

If I install (x)/(k)ubuntu I would expect to get the common applications
for this windowing system. For instance, if people expect kcalc to be
included in kubuntu and it is not, they may switch to another distro.
In addition the purpose of XFCE is to be lightweight and run well on
older hardware. So the applications included in xubuntu should be also
not too resource hungry.
