Many people using the CD do so because of limited bandwidth. Those people could never use a network install.
They will have to download the data at some point, be it a CD image or net install.
Downloading a CD slowly is possible. A fist install that slowly is impossible.
If we go to the USB stick, then IMO, we would also need a single CD install/rescue image. XFCE, for example.
Have you tried an USB rescue on a slow computer? The CD boots reasonably fast, the USB takes minutes to only load the kernel.
Actually, it is more about the usb-port. We work a lot with bootable usb-sticks, and had sone issue's with it. usb-3.0 (fastest) is something you will not find much usb-2 is reasonably fast, usb-1 is really slow. Most PC's (less than 5 years old) will have usb-2, BUT:... If you happen to use an usb-switch OR have multiple usb-devices that draw quite some miliamps, you will find out that the port falls back from usb-2 to usb-1. But even then, i think it is faster then a cdrom.... hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
