My personal opinion is that there should be the core and most useful
apps in a single big package. Perhaps you should consider this an
"additional" package, and release two CDs: one small without aditional
things, one big with the additional things.
There's also some other great GPL DOS Software (for additional
packages), such as FreePascal (DOS branch is not kept up with the most
recent changes, where multithreading was added, but the latest DOS
release is pretty good and stable, and can create 32-bit apps from
almost 100% TP-compatible code), perhaps GhostScript, the DJGPP LaTeX
distribution, etc.

Hi all! I'm considering adding DJGPP to my FreeDOS ISOs and would
like the opinion of everyone. This is a big change as it will
probably add at least 50 MB to the size of the ISO. If I do end up
adding it, should it be on the livecd? What components should be
available? Should it be available in several split packages or a big
monolithic package? (a bunch of small packages would be difficult to
maintain, but would provide a way for a minimalistic DJGPP install,
while a monolithic packages would be easy to maintain, although
meanwhile a user may get a bunch of components he doesn't want.)
