+
+First you need to make it fit on the CD (which is unlikely to be easy
+given that dependencies got added in updates)
+Then you need to test that installation still works fine in different
+configurations as some libraries used by the tools got updated

+
+The difference is between:
+- downloading one iso, burning it, installing it, downloading 600
+packages then installing it on another computer, downloading 600
+packages
+- downloading one iso, burning it, installing it then installing it on
+another computer
