why should any install of any distribution require more than one cd? 
If most users are downloading either multiple cd or dvd .iso's, then
they are wasting their time and bandwith unless they use everything on
those downloads.

all anyone needs is the "minimal," although, of course, what is and
isn't minimal is contentious.  the rest should be installed with yum,
or emerge, or foo, or whatever.

Of course, my rant presuposes an internet connection.
