The .discinfo is required so that we know what CD you've put in -- otherwise, there's no way to tell. This is why mediacheck is strongly recommended -- people complain about it even as-is. Jeremy-- Thanks for the reply, but you make no mention about the observations I made. Honestly, I don't see why those observations are invalidated by the need to know which disk is in the machine. I especially think that if the FC install is going to turn a computer into a doorstop (there's a joke in there), there's a responsibility on the installer either to be more rigid (i.e. requiring media checks) or more flexible (i.e., allowing users to copy discinfo or not requiring discinfo at all). Moreover, it seems to me that if people are "complaining about it", that maybe there's a problem with the assumptions of the installer software. I am a firm believer of the saying "the customer is right"--and this sounds like a case of the software not taking into account the realities of human nature.
