I agree, we spent way to much time on the minor space of the cd. and it
creates friction in the project when packages compete on a slot for CD1
what i think we should have is
1. the DVD image. with everything we need(want?).
2. a cd netinstall image perhaps it can install the barebone profile if
there is no network.
I will try to spend some time getting the cd network aware.
