The problem with the DVD is that it is > 2.0 GB and can not be served via apache (and even some FTP servers) because of this size. It is also a bandwidth issue and storage issue (there are about 20GB of DVDs, the entire tree is only 60GB without DVDs).
Just out of pure curiosity. What is then Red Hat using? If I remeber correctly, Fedora DVD images are available from their HTTP/FTP servers. And I guess it would be bad PR if they don't use what they ship with their flagship OS ;-)
Neither RHEL or FedoraCore is available via DVD from official Red Hat channels ...
Close, but not quite. RHEL doesn't have an official DVD, but FC does.
So they don't serve > 2gb files.
Sure they do, remember FTP?

If you don't believe me concerning RH not distributing DVDs, see this link: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/iso/
No, I don't. And I have a link, too.
