Surely we could fit a lot of functionality on a single CD. Just the

As in, make the installer one of the applications of a Fedora Core

filesystem to the chosen root filesystem (should be faster than
`rpm'ing around lots and lots of packages, and saves CD space!), then
enables the user to select additional packages to install/remove.
