And a dup it is.

The discussion from the original submission.

Since Zonk posted a dupe submission, I thought it would be important to post the entire discussion thread from that article here.

Please keep all of your discussion in this thread. We don't want to wander off-topic.

I'm not sure if they've done this, but they REALLY need to compress their distro down a lot! 3 - 4 cd's to get a usable desktop is terrible. They should get a gnome desktop, and office suite onto cd 1, then development tools on cd 2, etc.
last time i tried fedora, i needed to download 3 cd's just to get a desktop.

My gentoo install CD is 50MB... Sure I had to download roughly 400MB of other stuff to get a workstation [no desktop just X] but I got to choose what I wanted...

That and updating is much simpler and flexible... /fanboy

Anyone know if the 'Minimal' install set requires more CDs? One could set everything else up from a repository [wieers.com]...

Q: How will The Fedora Project be made available to the public?

A: Fedora Core releases will be available as ISO images for both CDs and DVDs, and will also be available through other channels such as third-party online sales of physical media; distribution at Linux User Groups, included in magazines and in books, and maybe even handed out at trade shows. The bits may be actively pushed into content sharing networks such as BitTorrent. (Not all mechanisms will be used for each release, except that ISOs will be freely available for each release.)

Or, google the words fedora dvd. There are a few scripts floating around to compose a DVD from the ISOs or the distribution tree itself.
