 |Its getting harder and harder to fit a reasonable base dist onto a CD.  \

I didn't want to start a thread, but now jumping in to add that
the release image was only about 170 MB when compressed with
xz(1), which would have saved ~100 MB download (and archive
storage) compared to bzip2.  (This matters here, more often than
not).
Thanks for (the) DragonFlyBSD (ISO).
