i think we all agree that an official mini install (bootable) iso image
would be a Good Thing (tm). so the following questions
o does it get produced for i386 only or for all architectures ?
o does it place an unreasonable burden on Phil Hands to be generating
multiple sets of images within architectures for official releases ?
o does it place an unreasonable burden on any other people involved
(in debate about what packages must be on/off - must there be a
mini iso1_NONUS or not.. or misc stuff)
o how much disk space are we talking about ? should it meet some
particular standard so it can be reused (e.g CreditCard isos ?)
o who is already doing this ?
