While I think he overstates the current situation by extrapolating his personal experience, at some point though the ubiquity of dvd drives will be true. I think we can hold-off on this debate until dell stops offering models without atleast dvd read support. Dell still offers dvd-less models in its home and home office value lines. On its N series "open source friendly" every option in the customize menu has atleast dvd read support... so the tipping point might be closer than either you or I would like. At some point it will make sense to drop the cdrom images and produce only the dvd image. Just like it made sense to drop the i486 kernel. Once Dell makes dvd-read support compulsory for all its shipping products its probably within 2 years (3~4 Core releases) after that cdrom install images with be deprecated. I'll have to go out and buy a $10 dvd burner at that point. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
