Is there a breakdown of the 2.8 iso showing what packages take what size.
Is there a case for pruning the iso and moving the larger items to the menu/system/Lite Software addition route. Concerned that there is iso size creep and hence greater risk of crashes during installation.
Found that DVD route has given problems on older dvd readers, leaving no option than to use USB flash drive route which is not straight forward for newbie.
Wide backwards hardware support and ease of system setup ( keyboards/ Graphics / modems etc especially ) being a priority so that the new user can get online. The current iso is just over the CD maximum size - some pruning might still allow it to fit on CD.
