I think you'll find Timothy said "take that as the default", not "stop releasing the DVD version". I for one would like more prominence to the USB image and methods of creating it on the Fedora install pages, just because a tleast two of the machines I generally install it on don't have a CD/DVD drive (all of our Office machines lack them). -- Sam -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
