I'm not an @redhat person, but the lorax (6.1 beta) CD was pretty full
as well. And rescue mode was as it is now in the beta; it's actually a
somewhat sensible way to do things; you don't duplicate having the
programs that way (since most of them are needed for the installer).
As to multi-cd, I'm guessing that's a bridge that's going to have to be
crossed. Not a fun one at all though, considering the number of
variables that need to be taken into account.
