Great!  If the day comes that we just can't squeeze it out on a single 
CD-R anymore, then so be it.  Times are marching on and more and more 
systems have DVD drives in them.  And we have 2 USB DVD drives that 
float around the datacenter for machines with CD or no optical, so it's 
not THAT big a deal.

But it is a neat "selling point" to have it fit on a single CD, and for 
those times when we're installing on puny hardware, it's awfully 
convenient.  ;)
