it's kind of funny

because cperciva was just asked to fill up the apparant "empty" wasted space seen in beta3 dvd

which he did! even overachieved the task slightly, apparently?

so in order to not generate full war we would need to either cut back, remove or abadon actual dvd size in some images

or maybe make image remotely or locally customizable

or provide separate images (tiny, medium, huge) which are just offline repos

or finally start shipping images with various de's which users ask but which can't be easily done as disks don't self-expand. and then you need to archive it all too

or something else

p.s.: btw, i was not able to install ports from b3 dvd for some reason, i didn't check why and completed the test setup from remote
