fedora9 cd images?

[Janina Sajka]

Steve is correct. There is no charge for Fedora or for the Speakup
Modified Fedora, unless you ask for disks to be sent to you. In that
case, we've used a service called Cheap Bytes to do this. They download
and burn our images. The cost is minimal.

While the complete distribution is only available on DVD, bootable media
is available for CD, as well as other installation options such as PXE.
