I must have missed this and deleted it by mistake.
I had something weird happen when F23 was the latest release. Somehow, probably through user error, I deleted my partition table and bricked my only USB stick. I think I corrupted the USB stick firmware somehow. I have only one computer so using another to get another copy wasn't an option. I did have a back up Fedora DVD because an earlier experience in life when I found myself without an OS and a broken installation.
I think that having a read only media option with physical damage as the only failure mode is valuable. I continue to keep a Fedora DVD even though I prefer installing through USB.
