Installing YSL on IBM P-505

[Mehran Majidi]

The P-505 machine does not have a DVD drive? It has only a CD drive.

I installed Fedora version 6.0. I have not check recently to see if Fedora
has been switched to DVD.

I have to learn how to install YDL through the network.

I am curious as to why you are attempting to install via CD's instead of
using the DVD, is the P-505 lacking a DVD drive?

As I recall Fedora has also moved away from posting CD ISOs in their later
releases and also finds a netinstall an acceptable install process, which
version of Fedora are you refering to?
