There is a HUGE difference in size.
The old boot.iso    was about   10MB.
The new netinst.iso is  about  121MB  due to including stage2.img.

I personally have 4 flash memory devices (16MB, 32MB, 64MB*2)
which I have used in the last year to initiate Fedora installs,
which will be obsoleted by this change.  Is PXE the only
small bootstrap method that remains?
