thats right! Live spin should not more than cd size. Most ppl in my
country do not have enough bandwidth to download a dvd. Thats equall
true for most developing countres? **So, dont make it hard for us to
get fedora** thoug we can collect the dvd from local vendor but its
month after a release!!
Do u expect at 17KB/s i will be able to download a dvd??

The answer to the first is another set of questions:
- Do we still have areas of the world where a livecd will work in a
computer but either burning or booting from livedvds or liveusb is
infeasible?
- Do we still want the desktop spin to be the default download option on
get-fedora?
As long as those two hold true, the desktop spin must be limited to a
single CD in size. Note that the first of those questions needs to be
addressed to a wider audience than the desktop team but the second is
within the desktop team's control.
