We should really consider dropping installable DVD in favor of Live CD + Addon DVD.
Any disadvantages?
The dvd offers a much more polished "out-of-the-box" experience with localization, java and some other stuff.
You have the same experience with booting mini-ISO and installing from online repos - well, but for the installation time.
The dvd has a much more customizable installer offering text mode install, light weight installation, custom software selection, and ability to configure the hardware and other stuff during installation.
The dvd doesn't require 512-1024 megs ram for installation.
I believe the dvd is the most popular installation medium still.
It is, but I don't really know why. Well, I use DVD since I don't have to download it over internet and burn it, otherwise I would most likely stick with online repos (and install the systems overnight)
The live installer would need a whole lot of work compared to it's current state, to be viable as the only/primary installation medium imo.
It was originally targeted for slightly different users group and simplicity was the most important requirement. Could you be more specific about what you would like to enhance on the live installer (either here, or, if possible, in openFate)?
