The lightest variant of Ubuntu, Lubuntu, should fit on a traditional CD-ROM and should be installable without internet access. This is the typical scenario (small computer, small internet) where someone chooses Lubuntu.
I believe all basic variants of Lubuntu should fit on a 700MB CD-ROM: i386-desktop* powerpc-desktop* i386-alternate powerpc-alternate - Why Mozilla software is kept instead of CUPS?? What about Midori browser or others? Firefox is 45MiB compressed, Midori 11MiB, full CUPS 10MiB. - If someone needs Sylpheed, has internet access, then can install it after; same with Pidgin and Transmission. - Abiword can be a good selection; Gnumeric is not too esential as the word processor is. - How many partition managers are needed? GParted + gnomedisks ? - How many package managers are needed? Synaptic + softwarecenter ? - How many audio players are needed? Audacious + gnomemplayer ? - Why there are 73MiB (compressed) dedicated to fonts-noto-cjk ? And 8MiB to fonts-nanum ? - 14MiB (compressed) dedicated to software-center metadata (app-install-data) ? - 9MiB for linux-headers ? Need to recompile kernel/modules offline? - About gnome-icon-theme (9MiB), I believe that it should be split in gnome-icon-theme-minimal and gnome-icon-theme-full; then select only the minimal for ISO media. (*) Live sessions are essential to check if the OS works, before installing over a previous OS in the computer.
