Anyway, there hasn't been an image that does a literal 'upgrade' for a
while now. If you use fedup it will download the newer version of each
package you have installed and nothing else - where the old DVD would
probably have packages you don't need, and not have packages you do. If
the fedup prep stops because of a network interruption, the already
downloaded packages don't go away. Run fedup again, and it will pick up
where it left off.
That's why he wanted a DVD with everything on it...he has a crappy
network connection so a network upgrade is sorta difficult. I suppose
he was planning to fire up a bittorrent session and let it run a few
days to get the DVD image.
I tend to agree with the OP...not everyone has a decent internet
connection and having everything dependent on the network sort of
orphans those users. Not a great way of winning friends and influencing
people.
