Just a reminder that the main problem with DVDs is burning them. The population that can burn a DVD is far far smaller than those who can read a DVD which is not IMHO _that_ much smaller than those who can read a CD. So distributing only DVDs is not quite as bad as having only DVDs for download. > We can spew out all the DVDs we want, but we're getting killed on the > one-CD install in most of the world. > > My hope is that we make some headway in the Live CD project.

Better yet is to be able to install right from inside the live session. That's Wooo! You like it? Do you want to install? You can browse in the browser for problems you may face at install time, get on the IRC for some live suppor! AFAIK no other distro has done that before. That can be a killer feature, but a bit harder to get, but not thta much ;). So, yes, lets go for world domination with FC5. :) > --g --behdad http://behdad.org/ -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
