This argument is valid. Dial-up users does not download isos over
their dial-up connection, they either 1) download at other place (at
work, a friend), 2) borrow and copy the discs or 3) wait (in my
country like 3 or 4 months after a release) for a computer magazine to
come out with the discs included. So for them the content of the
install set is very important.
1) and 2) can be done for individual packages too. In fact for both
these cases, downloading what they want instead of whole ISO images
makes a lot more sense
I an not on dial-up at home, only on a slow neighborhood LAN, but I did
such crazy things like fully updating my work computer and going home
with the complete content of /var/cache/yum/ on CDRW, but is not very
convenient.
