Why not? Fred makes a valid point. There are still, even in this day, a lot of machines that do not have DVD drives. This smells a lot like the Windows strategy of obseleting older hardware. That's not the Linux way, and it really should not be the openSUSE way. Some of us are still using 10 year old hardware that at least runs a modern system because of Linux. But we are forced to do things the hard way due to a lack of a usable installation medium. How hard is it to make the CDs? And, it's not that much extra to host. At least allow someone else to host them if the openSUSE guys don't have the space for them.
They have the space. It's a decision to simply not (using whatever software they have for generating these things) to create the CD ISO images like in the past. I smell the stench of more counter-productive decisions at Novell. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
