Does anyone actually burn CD's anymore?  Rarely I think.  I stopped
putting in a CD/DVD drive in systems years ago.  If I did need to, I
have several on older machines I can use along with a bunch of unused
blanks.

USB sticks are so cheap and much easier to use with a lot more space to
even be able to emerge addtional pkgs on that the livedvd image enables.

You can get a 5pak of 16gb drives for $20.   5pak of 8GB are $15 or
less...

I wouldn't worry about a few extra bytes to download.
