Hi Tim,
Okay OT, but why not have a third-party "sell" bulk flash drives with a
ubuntu flavor already on it. Flash drives are more durable than disks;
better for worldwide shipping. Have a website where a person selects
her flavor and pays via paypal for the shipping as well as a small
amount to break even on the drives. That'd be a lot easier for people
who are still using dialup or have slow broadband and struggle to
download images.
Certainly I'm not the first person to think of this.

Hi, (sorry never posted here)
I don't really see what's wrong with >2GB images. 8GB and 16GB flash drives
can be easily got for $5-$10 usd at the most, even free (promos,
swag, etc). It's not an undue burden to expect users to find a thumb drive to
load up an ubuntu flavor. Much ado, methinks.

I think the general complaint, atleast from Ubuntu GNOME community is the
download sizes of the images. Some users in various parts of the world
are still stuck with incredibly poor internet speeds.
