Sorry for the delayed response. What I'm saying is that if there
is a
live workstation iso, then there should be also a full workstation iso
that contains the development suite (as we know it from the recent past).
I understand the development suite cannot/need not be included in the
live iso, but it certainly can be included on a 4.3G dvd. And people can
download the image and install without the media, as I've been doing for
as long as that method has been available.
This is just my preference, because I feel more comfortable having all
the packages I need on my local disk first, then install from there, so I
don't depend on the network during install. But, if the trend is to
provide a minimal install, then I guess we'll just have to live with that.
I too have been downloading the image and installing without
burning it onto any media, for years now, so I would like to
"second" the request for a full DVD image again, for things
other than Server.
In my case, I have an extremely slow network at home and
therefore download my Fedora images elsewhere, so being
forced to do a "network" install now is a real drag.
(I posted a related question to the list about five days ago
but there has been no reply so I'm beginning to assume it
is no longer possible, for whatever reasons.)
