No it's a 2.5 out of 4.5 GB DVD, and there were no other spins available for users
with needs going beyond a pure desktop setup.
Right. It was clearly mentioned within the release announcement itself.
No point harping on it. Right?
That's why I wrote "I do not know about other users",
but even as a poor individual, I am presumably entitled to raise the **question** of how
many of the most popular/needed packages are to be found in the respective respositories
[50/50, 95/05, etc. (?)] ..
Nobody has any metrics there but it is quite large for some users. There
is a plan to add package lists to smolt in a optional way to collect
this. See Fedora advisory board list archives for details.
