I wonder what is the difference between you suggest and what happened in the last insta party?
after all, they could buy CDs from us, bring their own CDs (and they were asked to inform us on "weird" distro's). About what to install -- every time we organize InstaParty, we sit and decide what distro's to support. We take into consideration the easiness of use, etc. If a complete newbie installed and have problems, that is not good. However, it shouldn't affect our decision, as we, the installers, are not newbies. In case we have many distros all of the same quality, this can be used as a criterium to reduce the number of distros.
