You'll also have to swap disks out during install (hello 1998). Why do they "want" to use CDs? In fact, why are you wasting a DVD or CDs? That's not very green of you. Give them a USB stick with the DVD install ISO loaded on it so it can be reused for more useful things. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
