+1 to this if we can still produce a single-CD minimal install. IMO the value if a one-disc install is higher than the value of a release that contains the initial update set. In a month or two there will be additional updates to apply anyway, so it doesn't seem prudent to sacrifice the one-disc install for the life of the release to gain a (very) small convenience up front. Just my .02
