I sure thought of that, but IIRC the Warty CD was about 520MB or so. I
bought super cheap CD's, yet they can hold 700MB nonetheless, so that
leaves 170MB for kernels... enough space to add a K7 and i686 kernel
isn't it...and even a few more packages/applications if so you desire...
So we really can't say that space is an issue I think ! ;-)

The current Breezy i386 ISO weights 621MB, so eventhough it's a lot
fatter than Warty, it's still not quite 700MB yet :-)
