Yes, size certainly is an issue.  The whole thing, in all three formats?
Maybe 200 to 300M, depending on what components you include and whether
you build the alien rpm in advance or on-the-fly.  That's potentially half
the CD!  But then again, having a second or even third CD with extras like
OO wouldn't be a bad idea, would it?
