well, i was more thinking of the middle ground. something small (around 
500MB), so that we all can get it fast and test earlier, etc... even the 
people with not such a good line as us.

if you have the boot.iso, you still have to have your own mirror (which takes 
a lot of bandwidth too).

something that has just kde and gnome and not alot of apps, since those are 
available on the mirrors anyway.
