Probably you should have read my message up to its end, where I wrote: "I'm also unsure all my KVM over IPs support images for DVDs rather than simply CD." > In that case, you don't really care about whether > it's a CD or DVD. Even if they do, I don't see the point in using images 6 times the size (takes longer to download and uses more storage for no improvement).
