I don't doubt it. I would guess that it goes something like this: The installation code already needs to know how to read CD-ROMs. It already needs to know how to deal with CD-ROM filesystem format. It already needs to know where to find what on the CD-ROMs. Why should the installation code need to also know about keeping the files in a tree on a completely different type of filesystem that may have different rules for what constitutes legal file names or pose other difficulties? Also, doing it this way means that there is far less that has to be tested in the install process. Less that can go wrong. Ron. P.S. It isn't really Red Hat's fault if people don't read the install documentation. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.5.8 Comment: The last PGP with full source disclosure. iQA/AwUBO+t2uW8pw+2/9pUJEQLsjgCgp71LJLNUtKJJCxYCgfvrjluE5dsAoLs2 EHvywC5JEMJ/VfNXGZPyCfCJ =kj6f -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
