Hi Fedora 8 i686 live CD is ~690MB large, so the whole CD is used. Fedora 8 x86_64 live CD is ~750MB large, so it isn't LiveCD, but LiveDVD.....
I wonder why is that so? Can you made Fedora 9 x86_64 LiveCD fit 700MB CD space???

x86_64 binaries are bigger (among other things).

So, you are filling the LiveCD with i686 packeages until the maximum ~700MB, and then do the exact copy with x86_64 packages??? Why don't you do that reverse??? Then, the i686 LiveCD will be ~650MB and x86_64 will be ~700MB and both will fit CD...

There's a specific package set that's chosen.

Because then all the i386 users will complain about the missing functionality? It's a losing game any way you look at it. If you have a x86_64 box that only has a CD drive (unlikely), you can run the 32-bit CD image.
