And while I'm on the subject of files for download, why would someone 
bother to note, in the README-BURNING-ISOS-en_US.txt file, that:

Choosing CD or DVD

Fedora Core is distributed on multiple CD-sized ISO image files, or a 
single DVD-sized ISO image file. You can use the single DVD ISO file if 
your computer meets the following requirements:

    It has a DVD-writable or DVD-rewritable drive

    It has a NTFS drive with sufficient space to hold the image file

Maybe it's me, but some of us...nay, a great many of us...have Linux 
systems onto which we're downloading and planning to burn these DVD ISOs.

Since we're, most likely, running EXT2/EXT3n (or some other linux 
compatible filesystems), and since NTFS isn't writable under linux, it 
just seems to me that the text in that file is a little too narrow in its 
scope.
