"There is no longer a traditional CD-sized image, DVD or alternate image, but rather a single 800MB Ubuntu image that can be used from USB or DVD. Users who previously installed using LVM or full-disk encryption via the alternate CD will find that these installation targets are supported by the consolidated image in 12.10."

Well, that's almost true. Apart from the small difference that the new universal desktop image is only 790 MB. I don't really see any reason why the image could not fit on a 700 MB CD anymore. For those lousy 90 MB we've to use a DVD now. Did you already burn it? Is it not ridiculous how little of the 4.7 GB the image uses? Is it not a huge waste of space and resources? Ahhh.
