Description of problem:
As off Mageia 3 I noticed that we have live DVDs. Great; but since the live DVD is hardly 1.5GB, why can't we have two in one ISO.

I mean; we can have both KDE and Gnome 32-bit in one Live DVD ISO, or we could have KDE 32-Bit and KDE-64-Bit in one ISO and then the media detects the right architecture and boots accordingly.

Of course if we choose to have the same architecture for different desktops the media should present a menu with KDE or Gnome.

I don't know what the others think about this..save space guys ;)

We had a long discussion in the mailinglist before we settled with this set of ISOs.

If the user is only interested of 64-bit KDE then why should (s)he also download 64-bit GNOME or 32-bit KDE? We would just waste our mirrors bandwidth.

I understand, but then what if the user is interested in both?! 2 DVDs..!

Anyways; it was just a suggestion,

Thank you.
