Just so you know, you can use a DVD on a system with a 500 MHz CPU, I do it. I manage burning error-free DVDs quite nicely on a 500 MHz Celeron with around only 380 megs of RAM, on FC4. The minimum PC specs you see on DVD packaging generally is regards to what you'll need to run Windows and the DVD burning software that they provide with the burner. Linux doesn't have the same overheads (inefficiencies) that Windows has. -- (This PC runs FC4, my others FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
