Fine only where Internet bandwidth is plentiful and cheap. If you have multiple users in a place where Internet connectivity is slow or expensive or both, netboot doesn't scale. You then force such folks to learn enough to set up a local repository, I think. That isn't all that simple to do. With an alternate installer, as at present, they download (or have mailed or hand-carried to them) an ISO image, and can then install it on many PCs with no further Internet bandwidth usage. > #3: Since it's impossible to ever reach a true consensus regarding > default apps it would be cool if the live CD offered a minimal install > so each user could then install the browser and other apps desired post- > installation.

Users who care enough to do that, care enough to remove the "unwanted" default apps anyway, so is this really a significant gain? You are only saving them a few minutes during the install, and a few more not needing to uninstall the apps they dislike. That's a few minutes per year saved, even if they do a fresh install annually.
