I understand your concern about adding one more link, because that can very easily escalate into many more "one more links". My objection was the resources to some of the unconventional download methods were orphaned, as in _no_ fedora pages were pointing to these entirely functional choices. An acceptable solution to me would be a tiny link in some corner pointing to a page with all the unconventional options. I saw the patch you submitted and I feel that is a much better solution to what the web page looks like at the moment. With that patch I am a happy fedora member again. :) Thanks for acting on this promptly. > ~m > -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
