Do you mean one disc as in that one DVD, or that CD lets you install from that one CD, without needing additional resources? Using a boot CD that does a network install isn't really the same thing as a one disc install. And a one CD install option is definitely preferable to a one DVD install, filesize-wise for those downloading it. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.)
