Also, I suggest to also ship a *Minimal* spin. For the users who have aDSL (which are probably most of our users), downloading the needed packages via Anaconda is probably quicker than downloading a whole DVD (besides, burning a CD is cheaper than a DVD). I usually download only one CD (which I write on a CDRW) to do the install, so it would be nice if that iso was 100 instead of 600MB. Besides, now that Anaconda has "Extras" support, more users would actually make use of this Minimal spin, since it doesn't reflect to "minimal installation" but more to "minimal download size".
How is this different from the rescue CD which we have today (and will continue to have)?
Finally, would it be possible to install from minimal and have it download *updated* packages instead of the default-release ones? This way, installing FC7 4 months after its release would mean downloading only 100MB + 2GB instead of 4GB (DVD) plus 1GB (updates).
You can point at updates now; we don't list it by default because there are some non-fun interactions with media based installs.
