Sorry if there was a misunderstanding. I have a CD-ROM/DVD drive, I just
don't have a CD-WRITER or a Floppy Drive in my laptop. Both of those were
extra.

As for ordering the CD's. That was actually my first thought as well. After
purchasing commercial versions of SuSE and Red Hat, I realized that goofing
around with Linux was getting expensive, so I ordered Mandrake from
CheapBytes. That worked out really well. I just thought that if Fedora was
planning on rolling out a new revision every 4 months, that would be a whole
lot of ordering and worst of all waiting. Yes, it's true. My quest for
loading directly from ISO files is born out of a lack of patience. I would
rather spend an entire weekend repartitioning my hard-drive and loading
operating systems, than wait for the mail. Crazy? Perhaps not. I've learned
a lot this weekend.
