I haven't had time to do the inventory yet, but I guess it was almost equal share between the x86_64 Live, i386 Install and x86_64 Install. I was surprised how many people actually took the i386 install DVDs.
Hi Andreas!
I was surprised by that too.
So for now, I don't propose to do a DL DVD anymore.
I agree, I don't think I have ever bought any, they are much more expensive.
However, I do propose to merge x86_64 and i386 Live DVDs. They will both fit onto a single-layer DVD. That would bring us from 4 different Images down to three.
Could we do i386/x86_64 Install as well? That would be cool too. Then it's simply 2 images and we can give simpler instructions to people at conferences: If you want to play around before installing, use the Live one, otherwise use the Install one.
In fact we could try to do what Fedora did. They're able to autodetect 32-bit/64-bit and boot the appropriate Live Image. As that happens inside the bootloader we should be able to reproduce it.
If it is appreciated, I'd give it a try.
