On the other hand, it's 2.5gig less to download to get an installer image. You can add the Everything repo at install time to gain access to every package in Fedora. What is on the DVD has been an ongoing process from Test1 all the way though Test4 and even the RC. I've taken the feedback and adjusted the manifest file for the DVD as appropriate. If you didn't notice it before, well I couldn't help you then. What's important to note is what is on the DVD is _not_ what is /in/ Fedora. All the packages are there, it's a quick yum or Add/Remove Software session away. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
