I am pretty sure that there is no plan to obsolete the CD device as an OS distribution media. I am pretty sure that 6.0 will be available on it. Maybe someone at CSY can confirm this and shed more light on the future.

I think this was the plan back when they made the CD-ROM a standard item on all new 3000s, but I get the impression that, for whatever reasons, they have moved away from the idea. So there's probably a good chance that your CE is using obsolete information. You should see about having his firmware updated. G.
