I recommend the DVD ISO to those still using CDs (access to a D VD 
burner and reader permitted).  Aside from not changing the disc 4 or 5 
times, I find the DVD installs in about 1/2 the time of CD-ROM install.

As per another commend about the disk completely out of date after a few 
months is true.  However,
there was a Fedora user who maintained "Service Packs" editions of 4.  
Label FC4.1 FC4.2 etc.  This
is a nice band-aid, but the underlining problem rests in anaconda.  It 
should have an option to grab
updated packages from the mirror on install while getting the remaining 
packages from the Disc.
