The way forward for those cheap machines on cheap networks is to let them boot from CD but to then pull most of the installation from USB hard disk or flash. I believe that this amounts to little more than a better description in the documentation. As for your question about numbers, the "high end" machines coming through my local "PCs for the poor" refurbisher (www.aspitech.com.au) have DVD-ROM drives (ie, even those more expensive machines can't write a DVD image, but can write a CD image). So this isn't only a third-world issue, but one faced by anyone trying to get Linux running whilst on low income. -- Glen Turner www.gdt.id.au/~gdt -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
