I've used the same installation CD for most of my gentoo installs over the |
| 2 |
past few months, so I was shocked today when I realized that the smallest |
| 3 |
install ISO that we currently offer (at least for x86) is 80MB. When I |
| 4 |
started with Gentoo, it was ~15MB. |

What brought about the nearly six-fold increase in size for our basic |
| 7 |
installation CD? I understand the LiveCDs have added lots of features and |
| 8 |
functionality that some of our users have requested -- I have no objections |
| 9 |
to that. I do, however, object to the fact that the old, simple and small |
| 10 |
installation CD was killed off. That seems to go against the "Gentoo is |
| 11 |
about choice" theme that we trumpet. |

Why was this decision made? Who made it? |
