There was much debate earlier regarding data size of the iso. i.e CD/DVD.USB, I have found that loading LL 2.2 onto older laptops using a DVD drive encounters more issues ( stalls) than when previously using CDs. Possibly down to read speeds of the drives??
I personally feel that LL would have been better leaving some of the "bulk" such a Libre office , Gimp, bulkier browsers etc. to the menu/system/Install Additional Software route and keeping the transition into all things penguin as easy and trouble free as possible.
i.e concentrate on drivers for wireless. video cards, peripherals etc working straight out of the box. This is something that puppy linux still seems to do very well ( for very little size) and is my fallback position when LL has installation issues.
Sorry to rake up this again, but IMHO I feel it was at the heart of the LL project - KISS
