I mean I still use the iso attached to a virtual cd-rom to create virtual machines
Yeah but that’s not limited to physical DVD size constraints.
Sorry, the issue is size? Like, “we can’t fit into these clothes so we’re gonna go Jabba the Hut”, all naked and corpulent?
Damn it, on the very day my DVD burner arrived, right after the weekend when I switched to Fedora Atomic Sway. Oh this universe.
This doesn’t mean Fedora will not boot from DVDs anymore, it means any optical media bug won’t stop new Fedora release, any related bug will be squashed like any other regular bug after release
Well if they could get it to fit on a mini-dvd or a CD then nothing would be lost but I guess pre-UEFI systems are slowly going to be abandoned. (Guess coreboot community needs more funding)
Don’t forget that a lot of people still prefers legacy BIOS, even on modern system.
My pre-UEFI system can boot from a USB drive.
Most still-functional ones can.
yeah, i think you’d have to make a lot of effort to find a pc newer than 20 years old that doesn’t support usb booting
Here… I still have one :(
It’s probaly not needed at this point. You can get flash drives crazy cheap.
Any computer that meets the minimum requirements for Fedora will support booting from USB. The only reason left to boot from a DVD is if you need read only media for security purposes.
