Here's a link to find the Fedora 7 live cd (both KDE and Gnome)...

http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/fedora/releases/7/Live/i386/

If that mirrors slow I think the majority of mirrors are hosting the
default live cds, which are both installable, and CD size :D

The only trouble is, that in my humble opinion, the program selection
for the live cd isn't great, but it's so easy to add new software once
you've installed it that this isn't a big deal!

Hope that's helpful,

Jon
