Re: [osol-discuss] Getting rid of CD images for future SX:CE deliveries

[john g4lt]

What's the functional difference to the user between getting a dvd
image that's split into 5 parts and 5 iso images first of all?  if the
dvd image is going to be split anyways, why not make each image able
to be burnt independently?   With the present dvd image split up into
5 files, I see no gain in dropping the CD images and only headaches if
one part fails the download.  headaches that you don't have if you
download each cd and burn it independently.  with cd images, you can
always have the install running while you refetch/burn the missing
image.  this would be different if there was a unified dvd image that
didn't need to be concatenated.  short of that, dropping the cd images
is just not supportable, because now the user doesn't have the option
to have one download per tangible piece of install media.
