Maybe, yes. Or alternatively just drop the non-US area altogether.
Manty, what do you do at the moment?

Probably, yes. But *which* 700 MB media? I've had problems with
Knoppix not fitting on some of the 700MB media I've bought. Of course,
now creating the jigdo files is so cheap, it's feasible to produce
multiple images/sets in the following priority:

netinst CD
business card CD
4.7GB DVD
700 MB CD
9GB DVD (double layer)
650 MB CD
