Sure, I tend to use it too more often than not. I just don't really
see a big benefit in making the normal install CD use more than one
disc.<br>

<div>Extremely small and lightweight, not sure if you can install
air-gaped (admittedly I myself have not tested that capability).<br>

I've been following the discussion on what to
include/exclude in the<br>
Oneiric .iso, and a thought crossed my mind: Must we
limit ourselves<br>
to 1 CD?<br>
<br>
I mean, yes not everyone wants to download a huge DVD
.iso, but I<br>
think downloading a pair of .iso's, 700MB +
100-something MB, wouldn't<br>
be too much of a burden.<br>
<br>
Of course, that begs a follow-up question: how to script
an install<br>
that needs to have one (or more) disc-swapping in the
process.<br>
<br>
(Of course, this issue is moot if the user chooses to
download a DVD<br>
.iso instead, but that's a different topic altogether)<br>

Yes please, keep it to 1 disc. Certain other distributions
(e.g. SuSE) are up to silly numbers of disks, to the stage
where installing is a pain, involving switching out disc
after disc. To my mind the current install capabilities of
the Ubuntu disc is just about right. A good spread, but not
too many unnecessary packages. The repository is the ideal
place to install stuff from, people are then only a)
downloading just what they need, and b) getting up to date
packages. If the users are in a position where they have no
or slow internet access but instead order discs then there
is the DVD ISO that they can use.<br>
