Yes, but it's mostly in spanish. But I see you may have no problem with it! ;-)

We are working on improving the docs, and we will translate them if
people are interested.

One CD means it will be easier and cheaper to duplicate and distribute.
But the 700mb value is just a value in a config file, so you'll be
able to make a slice suited to your needs.
Regarding multiple disc, we had a (long) discussion on this and agreed
that it would be better if we sticked to just one.
