fc6 - extra disk

[Ted Gervais]

I have seen mention made of fc6 - extra, and I am wondering where that
iso disk is at?

I burnt 6 discs from the latest release and not one of them are marked
*extra*..

Can anyone explain where I can find the 'extra' disk for fc6?

It's not a disk.

See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras

FC 6, as installed, already has Extras enabled.  You're all set.  Find an 
Extras package you want to install, then:

"yum install packagename".

Or if you are gui-ing: run
Applications|Add/Remove Software

Extras is huge {I asked a while ago and people indicated 4-6GB or so. 
Since it unlikely that you want it all the idea is to let yum/pirut 
download just the bits you want.
