The P-505 machine does not have a DVD drive? It has only a CD drive. I installed Fedora version 6.0. I have not check recently to see if Fedora has been switched to DVD.
I have to learn how to install YDL through the network.

As I recall Fedora has also moved away from posting CD ISOs in their later releases and also finds a netinstall an acceptable install process, which version of Fedora are you refering to?
