the problem with the disk space is on the live-linux side of things.
the ms-windows and macintosh installers are stored in a reserve area
on the printed DVD which is used for persistent workspace on the USB
stick (target ~500mb). so the mac/windows installer space is pretty
flexible and is usually only decided at the last moment when we see how
much space is left.

I have a suggestion for saving space: Why not deliver the LiveDVD
with no installers at all (= the mini version as compiled today) and
a separate DVD with just installers? That would release several
100's of MB, I believe.<br>
<br>
For users who need the LiveDVD for training or demos, the installers
are unnecessary. Those who want the install packages will download
the separate DVD, but that's not such an inconvenience.<br>
