Proposal for solving CD Size problems

[t u]

I'm not sure the two [RAM & DVDROM] are correlated to that extend. For
example, my desktop machine has 512MB RAM but no DVD ROM.

also, it's easier and cheaper to just put in a little bit of RAM than to
swap a built-in CD for a DVD. [I know people who use RAM as keychain]
