AIUI, the intent was to have (new) users install from a Live CD and use Pirut to install "the rest" from the Internet. I agree that such reasoning is incomplete, as the Live CD can't do upgrades, yum upgrades are not supported, and some machines with CD drives don't have a fast -- or any -- Internet connection. While I think that omitting a full CD installer is a mistake, I don't need it; I don't really even need to burn the DVD though I do, as a hard disk install is faster and easier for me. File a bug! Complaints here fall on irrelevent ears. -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
