Linux distro install CD usage...
Aug. 16th, 2005 07:36 pmOn some wild speculation, I thought I'd find out how many CD's are needed for a network-less install. Nothing actually performed, but still...
Gentoo: 2 CDs
Slackware: 2 CDs (comes with 4, but they're source code).
CentOS: 4 CDs
Debian: 14 CDs (go with the DVD).
Fedora: 4 CDs
OpenSuSE: 4 CDs
Ubuntu: 1 CD
With a network install, Gentoo goes to 1, Slackware and Debian go to floppies, and the rest I don't know about.
