Still I'd say it'd be a good idea, if the system could be installed
without having to make boot disks... That's what I liked about RedHat3
when it came out, you could just start linux from the dos prompt and the
installation didn't even require you to write boot/root/base disks. (Still
for quite a few reasons, I am happy I changed to debian - but I really
think that this feature would be good, I just don't like all the hassle
with those 6 disks you need for the installation, if everything could
alternatively also be done from the CD directly.
