the size of core-dual iso has been over 700MB for a while. the last one is 738MB. See http://releng.archlinux.org/isos/2011.04.30/
what would be the best way to fix this? different archiso2dual parameters? different compression somewhere? revised packagelist? moving some packages out of core? [is anyone aware of noticeable size increases of the core repo or core packages?] Perhaps it's time to deprecate the CD-R space requirement?
That sounds reasonable to me, I've been putting net installs on dvds for a while now :P If you want both core arch install cds, you could just burn 2 cds instead of 1. Less convenient but shouldn't affect a lot, if any users.
Just my 2 cents.
-Thomas Dziedzic I agree completely. CD is fairly ancient and even DVD is rather old. We are Arch for we are progressive. Let's deprecate the CD space limit.
