Probably there are good reasons why the DVD is still here.
Indeed! There are environments/situations where there is no network
connectivity (at least to the Internet) and never will be. It is this
type of situations that will require a DVD.
Another situation is where I am installing into a qemu-kvm virtual
system. Yes, there will be Internet connectivity. Yes, it is nice to
have everything updated on install. But, running with just the DVD
image is a lot faster (takes much less wall-clock time).
BTW, if a live image is suppose to represent "The" set for a desktop
such as KDE, then that should be the same on the DVD. But, if there
really should be more than can fit on a live cdrom image, then why not
change that to be a live DVD image. After all, how many computers out
only have a cdrom drive as oppose to a dvd drive capable of handling
both cdroms and dvds?
