I would like to suggest a feature for Fedora Core that I think will be of benefit to a lot of people. When downloading the ISOs it is difficult to know how many to download. With only selecting a minimal set of componants to install I still had to use four of the CD's. With the DVD download this obviously isn't an issue since everything is on the same disc. So I think it would be a good idea to also provide a "base" iso of just one CD that contains enough to install the system with perhaps the X server, GNOME and Firefox. That way, those of us who have an internet connection available could download and install just the "base.iso" and then use YUM as usual to install extra packages without having to worry about how many ISOs one has to download. I also believe this would help relieve some bandwidth on the ISO servers. Regards, Jason Robinson.
I just want to add that I don't think that YUM repositories would suffer since we use YUM even though packages are available on the CDs.
