Do you feel that yum is ready to work as fast or regarding dependancies ready to handle a one-cd situation? I've used both yum and apt and it seems that apt with rpms is still more efficient in processing the data required. Maybe thats just me I'm not sure. I personally believe a 1 cd install is a must since most people always complain of the 'bloatedness' of Fedora. They always point to ubuntu as say thats what it needs to be like fast and efficient. I can see their point if they are a desktop user however I don't see their point if they want to setup a server. I personally always download the dvd's for the pure sake that its one cd and its got everything I personally need on it.
