Man walked on the moon because 'he could', and in the process technology had been advanced in ways that profit every walk of life. I have repeatedly expressed the need for a one (or at least not _five_) disk install. However, I don't think that Fedora should be used to introduce people to Linux (reasons given in previous email), and that's a very likely scenario for a LiveCD. That is a situation that must be considered. Dotan Cohen
Dotan, I think I share your opinions on the LiveCD. Especially after going through issues with the last two people I recommended Fedora to, I fear I may have turned them off linux for awhile. Nevertheless, might I suggest a wait-and-see approach to further discussion against the LiveCD - hopefully the Fedora project will collect some statistics as to how successfully it is. Personally, I think Fedora could better benifit from pioneering ease and versatility of installation, since no other OS seems to have anything that great in terms of installation yet, but that' my $0.02 which doesn't even have time to implement said idea. -- Fedora Core 6 and proud -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
