I like the concept that NetBSD uses where the installer is on one CD, around 80ish meg and then CD's for the packages are extra. Though having it all on one CD is great for new installs, maybe a second ISO could be released without packages for those who do binary upgrades on machines and dont need the extra stuff on the CD.
