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?
Greetings, Stephan
There are a surprising number of labs, etc. which have zero internet connectivity. They would need to download the ISO containing everything they will need, then burn the disks and sneaker net it over to the restricted part of there operation. I don't know if any of those people need a full 100% functional release, but I do think the day will come when a blue ray iso will make sense. FYI: we do have machines that function that way, but we now boot them off of a custom studio boot CD. So for our lab, we are doing fine. And thank you to the suse-studio folks! That actually brings up a relevant idea. Can a studio CD/DVD be used to install from? Upgrade from? If so, even the people trying to install opensuse without internet access could use the studio to build a custom boot cd / dvd with just their needs represented.
