So in the process of triaging Bug 557958, I have found a user with an interest in lobbying against the decision to allow Live ISOs that are too large to burn to CD. (They can't boot off USB or DVD, and I think is experiencing a bug with their network install.) I'm not questioning the decision, but as more people discover that things are too big to burn onto CD, it would be helpful to have someplace to point them. After poking around a bit in mailing list archives, I couldn't find any official announcement, nor did I find the reference which I think which was on this mailing list where I first learned about this myself. Does anyone know which group made this decision, and if there's an official reasoning? (Or for that matter if there's still a chance that it might be reversed.) It might be helpful to update: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD with some explanation, for example: * The vast majority of users can boot off USB, if not DVD, and so are not affected by the change. The larger size better serves the majority by providing the software that most people need in a Live distribution. * Non-Live installation methods are still available on CD, including network install from a minimal image, or offline install from multiple CDs. * Users that can only boot off CD but still need a Live distribution can use Revisor and published kickstart files to slim down the official spins to include only the software they actually need. -B. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
