Hi there
For this release should we try offering only the anyboot and vmdk
images? IIRC, there was talks of eventually obsoleting the ISO images
as the anyboot can be burned to disc. It would even help with
consistency (at the expense of LiveCD performance), as the ISO's store
several packages as compressed zips, which get extracted via Installer.
On a side note, the anyboot images are 800+MB. Offhand, I don't know
the current size of the ISO.

The iso images are handy to people wanting a test drive, and some of the
more clever cd burning utility's on windows at least, seem to cause
problems with anyboot images. I would think for the R1A4 release
candidates holding back a iso is a good idea, but for the actual r1a4
release, having a iso is handy.
