(It's about 8 years old though) My friend said it was probably because the disk was dual-layered, since his drive could read it and his wife's could not. (a slightly newer but still not dual-layer drive) Could be that no one even considered that it would be a factor with the end user. After all, you can use the CD to start an install through other media (LAN, web, etc.) or just download the iso's for the 5 Cd's. (They did list the address in the front of the book)
I may have lost the point/meaning of your post, but I'm pretty sure that there is nothing special about the DVD iso, except for maybe that it doesn't take up an entire DVD disk and i hate waisting space on write-once optical media. -- Fedora Core 6 and proud -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
