Yep, I've been downloading the DVD version since Fedora Core 2. (I've had DVD-R(G) drives since they first came out)
I used to main my own NFS install repository before that, and sometimes I'd plunk down DVD-RAM discs for remote systems.
BTW, what is the deal with Red Hat not putting the DVD isos on the HTTP service? Is it because of all the HTTP clients that don't support >2GiB files and they don't want to do with it (I assume)? Or something with Apache or another service on their side?
