Personally I would prefer a mix of both. You have a live media which can be demoed and if you want a particular blend of Fedora there are desktop icons which a person clicks and then runs the anaconda installer to get to the hardware. However wishes are fishes. I normally use "live" media for enhanced rescue environments. While probably not the "best" use, I have seen colocation techs use it to boot up a system and check out what is running compared to how hardware was running before. Other places I have seen it used are in throw away mode places. I have untrusted hardware, network, etc. I just want to run from a cdrom and save to a flash/usb drive (or some combo of all that). tada. In those cases, I am not wanting to install (heck I really really DON'T want to install in some cases.) -- Stephen J Smoogen. "The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance."
