And if they are being backed up they need the legacy stuff for the backup software to work. All of them have either a DVD drive or are on VMware and can just use the ISO file. I have a few that don't have a monitor or keyboard or mouse, just power, network and a camera kind of boxes. None of them have Bluetooth or need to print or have sound, but may have sound cards. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
