I haven't managed to get hold of any DVD-R media, and the machine I particularly want to install on seems not to be able to see double- sided (which I do have). (It's not exactly a new PC.) So I can't get 6.0 onto it in the usual way. But I can wait till 6.1 comes out; it is possible to predict yet whether it will squeeze in under the DVD+R limit? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is.
Have you thought about installing it from the network? Just burn a net install.iso, boot off from there, and at the network install prompt, enter path one of the mirrors. After that, you are set.

(It's not exactly a new PC.)double SIDED? or do you mean double layer? I've never seen a double sided burnable, although they are moderately common in pre-pressed movies (typically widescreen anamorphic on one side, pan-n-scan on the other) I second the emotion for the network install. or use the minimal, then add stuff with yum, thats what I do. -- john r pierce N 37, W 122 santa cruz ca mid-left coast
