A problem is, that many people don't have fast internet connections, therefore relying solely on yum install from remote repositories for getting all the good stuff is not a good idea, IMHO. On the other hand if someone has downloaded a couple of CDs or DVDs it is lot easier to distribute it to those who cannot afford downloading large chunks. Agreed the problem of updates will still exist. -- Gérard Milmeister Langackerstrasse 49 CH-8057 Zürich
