3. Need to provide a way to install via media for the following
cases:
* Desktop environment
* Developer use
Isn't the "workstation" class an already well established term and
preferable to chose?
* Fedora 7 DVD. With everything for desktop, development and
"mainstream" server tasks. This ends up replacing what was
previously Fedora Core. There's something of an open question as
to whether we'd provide CD isos here or not. Or CD isos via
bittorrent only?
* Fedora 7 Everything. 2+ DVDs. More bits than you can shake a
stick at. Not available on the mirrors; bittorrent only.
Hopefully can share the first disc with the Fedora 7 DVD. This
would be the most at-risk and the most likely to fall off due to
time pressure.
Going for "Bittorrent" only for certain spins is a -very- bad idea.
"Bittorrent" is blocked in certain academic and probably also enterprise
environments. It's very frustrating to sit behind a "firewall" and have the
necessary bandwith but no images to download. Even if "Fedora" will increase in
size, it won't do that by an order of magnitude but only by a factor of 2 or so. After
all, the overwhelming part of download bandwith is provided [voluntarily] by mirror sites,
so I do not see a problem here.
Up to now, I have not been able to download any "FC6" respin image because they
can only be retrieved via "Bittorrent" .. #@!&*#
