You obviously never heard about the DVD version. One disc to burn, one disc
to install from and no switching. With it, a Fedora install becomes much
more pleasing than a Windows XP install, which asks some questions, then
processes for a few minutes, then asks some more questions, followed by
some processing, and then more questions, etc, etc.
