That takes either 3 DVDs or 2 DL DVDs or 17 CDs. ;-) Fedora Unity has that but I don't think that they are bootable. And they do not contain the many updates amde since release.
Umm. For the moment I'm considering one DVD image. My generosity might founder at the thought of 17 CDs"-)
Simple DVD+R burners can be had for less than $30.00 USD. DVD readers for less than $20.00 USD. You used the term 'mate' So I gather that you are in Australia or England? The currencies are close in value between Australia and the US so it would only be slightly more in Australia dollars. Just about the same price in English Pounds. Provided, of course, that the units are valued the same.
For a reason I don't comprehend, the US economy founders, and our dollar depreciates against the greenback. US interest rates are in freefall, ours going up to counter inflation.
Since DVDs have been around for a little over ten years perhaps your friend should consider a hardware upgrade?
Whether he should or not hasn't much to do with the point. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Z1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
