You're comparing apples to oranges.  The Fedora images are live DVD,
please note that CentOS also offers live DVD images which are 1.2 and
1.7G for GNOME and KDE respectively (for CentOS 7).  The installation
DVD not only contains *both* GNOME and KDE (each live DVD image only
contains one of these), but also other programs that are not on the live
DVD.
