Future Installfests will definitely require more DVDs and fewer CDs as more and more distros are too big to fit onto a CD. We're getting to the point that only the lightweight distros fit onto a CD. I'm surprised Ubuntu doesn't require a DVD already. (Then again, X/K/Ubuntu requires a long download in the installation process. I don't think the wireless network at TIES can handle that many Ubuntu installations at once.)
