Yay! Another English question. Yes, "media" is the plural of "medium" (so
is "mediums"), but I believe media is correct. Note that the list of media
which follows (e.g. 1 or more *media*). Plus, it's normally referred to as
installation "media", since, for example, in Mandrake there are 3 CD's.
This certainly constitutes more than one medium, not counting any other
ftp/http/whatever sites you have specified.
