We switched to 700 MB for the 9.0 first cooker snapshot, and then we did not have real complain for the 4 betas and 2 RC published, why should we have switch back to 650 MB then? After 9.0 some person complain and I made 650 MB version for club members. Now what do you want? 650 MB, 700 MB, 680 MB? I can do whatever you want, with 650 MB you will just have 150 MB less of packages I do not want to use the free space of the third CD because this space is used in the commercial version. If I use it, then the download version will not be exactly the same as the boxed version, and could lead to problems such as what we had in 8.2.
