Q: How will The Fedora Project be made available to the public?
A: Fedora Core releases will be available as ISO images for both CDs and DVDs, and will also be available through other channels such as third-party online sales of physical media; distribution at Linux User Groups, included in magazines and in books, and maybe even handed out at trade shows. The bits may be actively pushed into content sharing networks such as BitTorrent. (Not all mechanisms will be used for each release, except that ISOs will be freely available for each release.)
Or, google the words fedora dvd. There are a few scripts floating around to compose a DVD from the ISOs or the distribution tree itself.

Go with a smaller distro. This is linux. You have the choice. Choose a distro that comes with everything. Choose a distro that fits on one CDROM. Choose!
Work with the Fedora team to produce a netinstall version of Fedora (or pay someone else to do it for you.
