Was it a failure to not do Fedora 7 CD's

[Thorsten Leemhuis]

Hi,

from looking at the F7-feedback I saw on the lists, in reviews, in blogs
and in other places I more and more think it was a failure to not do a
CD version of the "Fedora" spins.

Seems people are quite unhappy; the two main reasons afaics are:

* people did not realize yet to use the Live-CD for installs

* updates from FC6 to F7 are not possible with Live-CDs; thus people
that don't own a DVD reader can only update via network based installs,
with is not that well known (is that documented somewhere probably),
error-pone and require a internet router (which not everybody owns; I
for example would not be able to update by home server, because that's
my internet router (via PPPoe and a DSL-Modem) and it has only a CD
reader (sure, I did a yum update ;-) ))

Just wanted to share this. Thanks for reading.

P.S.: /me on each Fedora release is astonished how many people seem not
be be aware that one can do a update with the Install-DVD; should we
advertise that more somehow?
