Single CD Fedora distro

[Luya Tshimbalanga]

You hit the nail about functionality. One of major problem
with many current Live CDs is the lack of other language
versions other than English. 

Pratically, Kadischi project is the way to go because
anyone can  customize their live CD depending
the area users live. 

I too think it is better to keep 4 CDs/1DVD for Fedora
(progressively removing some duplicated packages) and adding
the ability for user to create their own live-cd.
