Can something/anything be trimmed out? for 15.0, the dvd1 (but not disc1) includes both dist sets and pkgbase packages, which means twice as much space is used for the base system. i'm not sure if this is enough by itself to push it over the DVD size limit, but you could check the size of the two repositories on the disc. for 16.0 we'll only ship the pkgbase packages and the non-pkgbase install will be handled in a different way, which will reduce the size.
