There definitely seems to be a lot of posts about this (lots of cheap and nasty blanks ?), and the Media Check seems to confuse as much as it helps. I think that boot disc + network installation depends on having a good connection, though. Although many people in the UK have something labelled as "broadband", the standard plans that I've seen only have a 2Gb a month download limit before additional charges kick in, or less than 1Mbit bandwidth. Which is OK for updates, but make network installs less comfortable. I don't know enough about the situation in other countries to sensible comment there. -- Stuart Ellis stuart@xxxxxxxx Fedora Documentation Project: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ GPG key ID: 7098ABEA GPG key fingerprint: 68B0 E291 FB19 C845 E60E 9569 292E E365 7098 ABEA
