I support that. CDs should be phased out, at least as main distribution media. IF there is demand for that, maybe create them and distribute via torrent.

Thoughts ? +1 for distributing a single large ISO. A lot of people install from USB sticks and 8GBs ones have become more like a norm than a rarity nowadays. And a 4.7GB iso would not fit on a 4GB stick anyway so a 8GB one would be needed. Which means that the effort for whoever wants to install from a stick would not be "much" ( for a lax definition of much :) ) higher to download a 6.6 GB image instead of a 4.7GB one. I for one would grab the larger one. ... I still have the CentOS 5.7 iso on my phone's SD Card and install from it from time to time.
