RE: CD and DVD ISO images
The latest Fedora newsletter triggered this. Someone was asking about
CD-sized ISO images.
<snip>
Most, but not all, of my too-numerous computers have DVD drives, and
right now I'm looking at installing something that I
downloaded as a DVD
image on a system that hasn't a DVD drive.
What do others think?
I occationally load Fedora on systems which do not have DVD drivers.
I usually mount the DVD on a system with the DVD and then copy the
contents to an exported file system.
On the non-DVD machine I boot from the CD image and specify an
NFS install using the DVD image on the other machine. Works fine
if you have "too-many" computers as do many of us on this list.
In theory, I believe you could export the DVD file system directly
for use with NFS. I have never tried this myself.
