Bug Description
Almost no netbooks have optical drives.
It's therefore pointless to aim to fit the netbook image on a CD (<700mb), since almost everyone will be installing using a flash drive.
I suggest aiming instead for a "reasonable download size" of something like 1Gb, which would take the pressure off in terms of having to make sacrifices, and could enable more device drivers to be compiled into the netbook kernel.
ProblemType: Feature Request
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04
Package: ubuntu-netbook (not installed)
