I glossed over nothing.  Your unequivocal "there is no non-DVD" response
was to Aaron was about Karl Larsen.

Karl:  "Be advised that F7 is only available in a DVD 7image. that is a
problem then you will need to try FC6"

Aaron:  "Why do you say things like this Karl, since f7 can be installed
from a f7 Live CD."

Kam:  "What Karl stated is factual. A multiple CD-ROM disc equivalent of
the F7 DVD is not offered or available. If you want a set you need to
roll your own. So give the guy a break."

That statement, your statement, was *factually* wrong, to use your own
words.  So was Karl's.  Aaron's was correct, but not comprehensive.

A multiple disc CD-ROM set *is* available, albeit not from the same
source as the DVD ISO files.  And you do *not* have to roll your own,
although that is an option.

Stop squirming, you were wrong.  You *can* install FC7 from CDs, you can
do so just as totally as you can from DVDs, if you want to.
