I have a 500 Mhz Pentium machine that runs FC5 very well. I installed it using the multi-CD set. I can NOT put a DVD drive on the machine, because the minimum speed for DVD drives is around 800 Mhz, based on all the drive boxes I looked at when I investigated the matter.
BUNK!! 600MHz was the speed Microsoft recommended for playing back movies. If you have a high end graphics card you can even play back movies with a lower speed processor. You don't need that speed if you are using the DVD for data!. My AMD K6-2 450 MHz system has not encountered any problems with installing software from a DVD drive.
The only way I can do an install of F7 equivalent to what I now have with FC5 is to have a multi-CD equivalent of the DVD. Is there any place I can download it? I haven't found one. If I have a machine elsewhere that can read DVD's (and I do) is there a way for me to make the same kind of multi-CD set I need from the DVD? Or has the Fedora Project, in its wisdom, decided to abandon people like me as users? Stan Klein
