Hi Scott and all,

As of Fedora 7, the multiple CDs have disappeared and have been replaced
by a DVD, as mentioned, as well as a LiveCD:

Yes, both my son's use Linux now. XP went the way of the dodo. My
eldest is able to do all his school assignments in OpenOffice. I
usually remove the Fedora installed version and grab the latest
official release though.
