I know this will be an unpopular suggestion, but 300MB is a lot to
loose. So I'm just throwing this out there.....
KDE by my estimates is 350mb, move it into extras.

I agree that a cd two install would be good and have packages available
from online. However I think there does need to be an option for a full
cd set download. I do many installs that are on machines with no
internet connection and also do jobs onsite where there is only a dialup
option. Many people I speak to say that they would have tried suse
except for the need to download packages from an ftp server on install
has stopped this as the install was a nightmare.
If the number of cd's is getting too much - why not refer onto dvd
installs as most machines these days have them and this would then
reduce the amount of disks to two and provide the cd download for people
who required it.
