It is as far as I know impossible to figure out how many they are, but
the last person I heard from that tried to use the DVD was Bjarne
Nielsen. He wanted to burn one and bring along to Madagascar, but
failed to burn it as the ISO was too large to fit on a DVD. I've
since reduced the ISO size because of his feedback.

I normally install using PXE, but when I need to boot from external
media, I too use USB sticks. :)

Perhaps call the latter "USB stick and Blueray" release?
