be provided, and yes the # installing useing the livecd.iso on usb is
high as well.)
the current livecd isos need to continue (yes i know the size sux, but
not everyone has highspeed internet thats why they are downloading the
livecd and not the dvd)
I say if you want to offer more choice, that is great, but do not shoot
yourself in the foot yet, for f13 we can always try a liveusb image as
well as the livecd iso if someone is willing to help release engineering
make this happen so much the better for all of us
if the people wanting a localized spin step up and do and maintain one
for your locale.

Given the amount of bandwidth it takes to keep a Fedora install up to
date, the jump from 700M to 1.4G is not that big, and on par with the
other bandwidth requirements of Fedora.
For the really network starved, there is netinst.iso where you start
with 200M~ and only download the specific packages you wish to install,
minimally about 200 packages.
