Tim believes it is not about installation methods but it is not. Please join in. In case you missed it here's a quick recap: 1. Nelson was concerned whether FC6 supported his Intel processor. He said he was told that F7 provided support. 2. Karl replied, recommending the F7 DVD. 3. Aaron replied, dissing Karl, and said F7 can be installed from a Live CD. 4. I responded to Aaron's post and told him to stop dissing Karl. I stated that Karl who may not have properly conveyed the thought is factually correct. My interpretation of what Karl posted is "For F7 go with the DVD because unlike previous releases a CD-ROM set does not exist." I further stated that if you want the DVD equivalent you have to roll your own set of CD-ROMs. 5. Tim took issue with the statement regarding rolling your own set. Tim agrees that Fedora does not offer such a set but that a set is available from a third party. (I'm still waiting for a link, Tim.) I really don't know where Tim got the impression that either Karl or I said that F7 could only be installed using a DVD. Neither of us stated such thing. This thread began as a media recommendation for F7. It was never about installation method. For some reason Tim believes that it is. What the heck, I like diversions!
