AFAIK no one has completely figured this out yet. I noticed that the libreoffice-langpack-* packages are on the F16 DVD but not later, and based on the average size and number of these that seems to account for about half of the size difference. Here are links to package lists (sorted by size in 1K-blocks) for the i386 F16 and F17 Alpha TC1 DVDs (the size reduction happened at Alpha TC1). http://robatino.fedorapeople.org/sizes_Fedora-16-i386-DVD.txt http://robatino.fedorapeople.org/sizes_Fedora-17-Alpha.TC1-i386-DVD.txt -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
