Anyway, Internet-based video delivery is becoming a reality. If the networking providers will get off their bums and start providing true high-speed Internet to the home, this will be no different than downloading a DVD is for someone with today's "high-speed" Internet.
So perhaps it's a bit ahead of its time, but hopefully not much. Why would someone who uses internet based video delivery download a 25GB medium with 90% software he never uses and wait for the download to finish to start installation if he can do a network installation right away and only download what he needs in the same video delivery speed?
Packrat. Grimy paws. Try to pay attention.
Seriously, if downloading Blu-Ray images is not going to be justified, then why would anything other than the nucleus of a boot disc with a kernel and a full complement of hardware drivers and the first stage of the installer ever be distributed? A CD (image) would be more than enough.
That already exists since ages. http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.1/iso/openSUSE-11.1-NET-i586.is... Or did you argue about that would be enough in every case?
