I also agree here. I love having one DVD to do it all. After all, when  
the base install is on the system, it's pretty much a matter of using  
yum to install what else you need anyhow....

I think the whole point of spins are to make things easier for newbies  
- a default install if you will that has the most common apps. This  
being said, I would like to see a 'newbie' CD and a single DVD instead  
of a multitude of other options.

I install on 2 machines... One that does pretty much everything  
internet, and another one for testing, asterisk, streaming DVB via  
multicast and whatever else catches my fancy. It's great being able to  
do that from a single DVD.
