I chose the 1gb dvd/usb, but honestly I think they should keep the 700mb option too. Like, absolutely without a doubt should not get rid of that option.
Offer a 700mb cd/usb with the checkbox to customize startup programs which will be auto-downloaded. These programs will be all the ones offered on the 1gb image.

Ubuntu already installs loads of unused applications, and going beyond 700MB would only serve to increase the useless things.

Strip it down to a basic under 700MB ubuntu and after installation have a link to a webpage that has suggested apps to install.
Or do the basic stripped-down version and a bloated one using a DVD (but in my opinion... the bloated 'all options' is Pinguy).

Ubuntu releases are a fantastic way to use up all those old 700MB blanks. I just burn off a few and hand them out freely. I think the current CD / DVD dual distribution is just fine.

Another option:
There should be 2 types of media: Installation Media and Live Media. Installation Media should only include the stuff that is required for the Ubuntu Desktop experience and that works offline. Everything else, such as community themes and wallpapers, Firefox, VNC, UOMS, Ubuntu One Sync, etc will be installed in an update. The Live Media would come with all of that stuff already in it.
I say Ubuntu should stick to one 700MB CD. Not enough space? Strip stuff from it. If users won't actually use it, off it goes (I'm curious, does anyone use PiTiVi?). Keep the core system on one CD, guys.
A good idea, however, would be to provide a second CD for the (many) people still on dial-up, which should have extra software (e.g. the full LibreOffice suite, GIMP, a video editor, etc.). And while I'm at it, what happened to apt-sync and delta packages?
Lets get rid of old optical media. Some users need it (and should have an alternate for burning one..) but the days of burning Linux CDs should be over.
i would like to see an ultra lite edition that could be installed permanently on an usb. thet whould be wise! like SLAX 6.1.2
Just keep the 700 MB Size.
In the End, you need to download stuff anyway, and with the CD you've got a Live medium for all those computers which don't support booting off USB...
I really dont care. Are there people who care?
