Hrm, I find that peculiar, it has been an option in the past. I can understand if it's not recommended, but as far as I know it's present as an option in about the first or second screen of the anakonda installer. Perhaps they were thinking about the liveCD and not the installation media? I cannot confirm this as I usually just wipe and install the OS, perhaps someone else with recent experience can supply this information? -Chris
