I indeed agree that having a nice and very minimal pattern is a good thing to deploy servers, however this new base system uses less disk space in MB than the RAM required to run the distribution installer... is there any work being done to reduce the memory footprint of the installer ( other than speeding up the package manager stuff that is the main cause of slowness ..) ??? Also the installer may **feel** faster if network installation were threaded, nowdays it dowloads package --> install package without trying to download the next package while installing..(Im not claiming that this will be less resource hungry though.. but an **option** do do this will be nice ;) )
