My take on this is that I would much rather download a large ISO because 
+I often end up installing on multiple machines and it makes it much 
+nicer and easier if there are a large number of packages at install time.
+
+One thing that puts me off trying Fedora is that they're all CD ISOs and 
+I love that Mandriva does such a complete install with its DVD ISO.
+
+If you want the smaller download with Mandriva you can download One.
