It's a quandry. Support the old at the expense of the new? Or support the new and alienate a community of loyalists? I wish there was an easy answer.
Why not make CD1 installer for big boxes and CD2 installer for small boxes? that way you get the best of both worlds :)
Interesting proposition. I think complexity is the limiting factor. Two different install images to maintain is a lot to ask of someone who's already working his tail off (Pixel).

Actually no, you just need 2 stage2 images. One for s--t machines with no memory and one for people with real hardware. ;)
The bigger of the stage2 images can be live-only to save space on disk1.
Then you need a stage2 that can handle either: almost no drivers, and all of them. (Right now stage 2 can't handle installing a new kernel into it with a ton of drivers (as i did). It simply couldn't inderstand how to insmod mptbase and mptscsih.
