[ale] Ubuntu 12.10 desktop will not fit on a CD

[Wolf Halton]

It would be cool to have a server version that fit on a CD, but not
critical.  A DVD fits in the same physical space as a CD, if you actually
want a physical disc at all.  These days, I rarely use physical media,
since most of the machines I provision are virtual machines.  I haven't
actually bought a CD-R for a long time, and a partial pack of 25 DVDs that
I got in 2011 as surplus, when a friend was moving still has 5 unused DVDs
in it.
