I got the LFY yesterday night (100 Rs.). As promised on the cover, it came with the Fedora DVD. However before you rush out to get the CDs, please read further.
The DVD *DOES NOT* contain the ISOs of Fedora CDs, but the DVD version of Fedora. That means you need to have a DVD drive to boot off from the DVD (have not checked if the DVD is bootable) and install FC3. It has 3.25 GB of RPMs (in the folder Fedora/RPMs).
If you have a Fedora Core 2 installation, one option is to copy the RPMs to your hdd, make it an yum repository (http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=04/07/22/1718242) , point your yum.conf to it and say "yum upgrade" .
Of course, all this means that you have a good friend/employee who will let you have an access to a DVD drive and let you copy the RPMs on the DVD to your own CDs or hdd.
If anyone has got hold of the PCQ, please tell us if they are giving ISOs or the DVD version of debian.
PCQ has given a DVD version of debian. I have a mepis distribution installed on my computer and I was able to access 7000 packages through kpackage.
