Even if you are mainly referring to the Desktop spin, there are a few other spins that use it as a base. The use cases for these different spins could be quite different. As the maintainer of the games spin, which is based off the Desktop spin, my view of the purpose is that is is for demoing Fedora. I don't think running off optical media is a good way to use it. It may also be used for installs. However, I also use custom spins of USB devices, so I don't need to have as much trust in strange PCs when I want to use them and so that I can use Fedora instead of Windows. In this latter case I don't want to be asked about installs every boot. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
