Extend this to > "friends with DVD writers". How many people don't have one? This does not hold in all cases. For example take any server hosting company, at least here the cd-roms outnumber the dvd-roms approx 15:1 at the moment. All new servers gets dvd-roms, but we don't want to exchange several hundred cd-roms into dvd-roms. Besides I hardly ever need more than cd1 on those servers due to the post-install script fetching most useful packages so I only need to do a minimal install on all servers no matter what purpose they will have. And then at home, I have dvd-roms in all my workstations but my mother (and many others that I help out at times) does not. So i would still need to carry the cd version as that is universally usable. For that reason I have never even downloaded a single FC dvd image yet. My firewall and all development boxes have only cd-roms as most of them are P2/P3/Xeon 700Mhz, and even my dual Xeon 2.8Ghz has a cd-rom. -HK -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
