As a user I think the dual layer ISO image is a good idea. But I still feel you should distribute a DVD Image suitable for single layer (4.7GB). I myself do not have any dual layer discs, and I am sure I would not be alone on that matter.
If we do the large single iso - it would be in addition to the dvd isos we distribute already ( which have a max-size constraint of 4.3GB, so suitable for all DVD formats ); those will not go away.
Would there be a way for a script to combine the two isos into one with loopback mounts, a copy and rebuild? I'd probably use a complete, single iso as file mapped to the DVD in VM's for booting even if I couldn't burn it. But if you have to make extra effort, I'd really rather have a minimal installer that fits a CD and lists of the package groups that each type of install would include so I could let yum do it after the base install.
