I was referring to the size of the standard install. The good thing 
about a one CD install is that when it's done you have a workable system 
off of a CD. No time wasted downloading 5 or 6 CDs or a DVD and then 
getting to install (which may take more time because of the 3.3 Gb). 
Orrrr, no time or money wasted waiting for CheapBytes (whom I've ordered 
from before) to send you the disc. I don't care what distro you use, it 
just makes more sense, IMHO. There's less of what you don't want and 
less time to install. :)

You're going to have to update and then install other packages once you 
get a working system anyway, so why not go light?
