that sounds stupid. unless you have tons of ram to waste. :)
Yes I do - currently running 1GB of RAM with perspective towards 2GB.

actually ... it would be suboptimal in both cases
either you have to few software to test or to install.
Do you think we will duplicate each software package twice ?
Nonsense - There are 3 ways to solve the problem:
1) we could put a *lot* of "standard" packages into liveDVD + RPMs for
install version on the same media.
2) Better yet - develop some kind of technology that can take
installed RPMs and convert them back to installtion RPMs. Everything
is possible.
3) make a single compressed image that contains all software (like
Knoppix) that can also be installable.
After all - both Knoppix & Ubuntu Dapper Drake solved the problem with
decision # 3.
