Compressing the image isn't going to lower the size that much as its
already full of compressed files, it'll probably only take off no more
than 40mb.

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.

Just my AU$0.02 worth.
