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 ...?
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?
My point is that if Blu-Ray media or images are not justified, then nothing but that sort of minimal installer is justified. If there's a reason to go beyond a minimal installer, then there's a reason to put everything on a single distribution medium (or image).
