Serves me right for fixing the error and then getting an ISO file that would not ever fit on a DVD, eh? Well, long story short: I needed to save some space, so looked at what the ‘fix’ newly brought on the DVD and aligned to what the DVD looked like before.
Is there really someone out there using a DVD for TW installation? Or would it better be sqashed to fit on a 4GB USB stick?
These days you'll have a hard time buying 4GB USB sticks. Minimum I saw today in Media Markt was 8 GB, but 16-32 seems most common now. From what I see in the forums, hardly anybody still burns the ISO to an optic medium, USB simply is faster, more reliable.
...and reuseable. Even the 4GB USB, hidden somewhere in the 'Old Electronics' box, below the 8" floppies....
That said, none of these provide a solution to your issue @dimstar. But the thought has come to mind to get rid of that barrier. Those who insist on optical media can use the NET install if they want, but my bet is that most will use USB, and only care that the image fits on an 8 GB stick.
You got the point of the 4GB question ;-) Bandwidth is in many countries only a convenience issue (this includes Germany with its reliable high speed infrastructure ;-) , same for the complaints about non-parallel downloads. In countries or areas where you really cant do a net installation one is probably happy about each package that fits onto a 8GB stick....
