To hear it described as "normal" is somewhat strange. Perhaps I should have been clearer; my apologies. I meant for installation, recovery or repair purposes. I am not aware of /any/ modern distro that has boot, root & source media any more, or which supports installation from multiple floppies. Even offering installation from multiple CDs is rare to unheard-of now. Indeed CD support itself is disappearing - they're too small for OSes here in the 2nd decade of C21. -- Liam Proven * Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: lproven@xxxxxxxxx * GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: lproven@xxxxxxxxxxx * Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 * Cell: +44 7939-087884 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
