+I think issue #1 would make the ISO worthless for most of the intended 
+audience. Also, as I think the CD image will be preferred by people over 
+the DVD image who are on a limited connections, I think we should not 
+release an ISO file that's too big; It would not be a very positive first 
+impression for them with Mageia.
+
+My two cents worth. Sleep tight all and thanks for all the hard work :-)
