I'm not saying I've heard that either as I don't deal with the mirror admins. :) But it is more overhead to keep track of for sure. And there were a lot of other changes in the release process this time due to the merger of core and extras. All that left the fine folks that do the work with a lot on their plates. >> There are numerous ways for people to install without a DVD drive. >> I don't understand why it's such a big deal that there isn't a set >> of CDs that someone can fiddle with at install time.

I don't disagree at all that options are needed. I think there are many methods for people to use to install Fedora: network booting via the provided PXE images; the small boot.iso; the rescue cd; the live cd; the dvd; using USB to boot one of the images; etc. The one option that isn't there is the install from a set of 5 CDs. Perhaps better documentation is needed so that people know what options they have so that they can choose one that works in their environment. But I don't think there are very many (if any) people that are simply hosed without that 5 CD set of isos. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Suppose I were a member of Congress, and suppose I were an idiot.
