Hi Daniel :) there are still 800MB CDs ;), but because we are using the internet, I guess we don't need more than a 700MB install CD, with the most wanted applications. For countries were access to the internet is a problem, a DVD might be the better choice. For me it's hard to imagine what might be the "perfect" media. I prefer 700MB media, but this is a selfish view ;). I don't know the situation in some countries. I bought a new DVD drive for around 20,-€ and this is a burner, DVDRAM and LightScribe drive, but only a reader for around 10,-€ is needed to install something. I don't know, but I guess getting access to the internet might be harder in some countries, than to get a DVD reader. Is an old CD reader able to read 800MB CDs or overburned 700MB CDs? Cheers, Ralf PS: This social aspect of Linux keeps me stay at Linux, even if for my usage of the computer Windows has a lot of advantages. But also for Linux, thinking about such issues is something that made me change from Suse to 64 Studio.
