Yes, but Windows XP includes lots of hacks to the API (a very intensive effort), and doesn't include lots of apps on that one CD. You're comparing apples to oranges. If Fedora Core were to contain only basic libraries, yum, coreutils, and a web browser, then one CD would be possible. For example, if you want Office, that adds CDs to the XP install. John Thacker
