right.  other distributions use the extra space to create a 
DVD that has a larger package set as well as install tree.
i believe the current CD ISO has a subset of the entire
package tree for that release.

personally i'm pretty happy with the CD sized arrangement
but since i get asked i figured i'd pass it on.
