Description of problem: https://fedoraproject.org/get-fedora mentions burning a CD or DVD several places. Since Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso is way too big for a CD this is misleading. Not good for a user's first exposure to Fedora. Many old machines may not have a DVD reader. Knowing that a CD won't suffice could save people from wasting time.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Installation_Guide/sn-making-media.html appears to be quite precise and accurate on this point. A CD can be used for a netinst image. That's not a beginner level tool and deserves at most a footnote on the get-fedora page.
I think we should bin all our CDs and just use usb dongle. What about replacing CD references to USB dongle?
Or just optical disc or portable media. After all even when the image size was smaller than 700 MBs, there were still CDs with a capacity of only 650 MBs.
The informations given in the the 'get-fedora' page, where we mention burning a CD or DVD, are correct IMHO. The DVD image is for a DVD and the netinstall image can be used on a CD. I can't find any wrong reference in live images, we mention always to use also a USB Stick of 1GB+ (in the right sidebar). We had this issue months ago, when we had below the download button a "CD/DVD image size", but this has been fixed. I'm going to close this as "not a bug", if you still feel we can improve the 'get-fedora' page, please open a ticket in our Websites Trac: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites/
