The biggest problem is that the text installer uses packages, and installs from sets of packages to the hard drive. Very similar to booting into single user mode, and then using apt-get to install *everything*. The Live CD does not contain packages in the same sense. The packages are already installed onto a compressed file system, and the installer just copies files from one file system to another during install. In order to have both on one disk, you would need to use double the disk space, because all the packages would be on the CD twice, once in the Live file system, and once in the apt repository. -Matt
"" Is it possible to create a liveCD that runs off packages instead of the archive it is in now? Wouldn't it still be able to install *everything*? If not would it be possible to have some kind of extractor that reads that file and puts the necessary packages into RAM or something to do the text install
