The installer was a nightmare that reminded me of the old 10 floppy install days. I don't know if they have changed that or not, but if they haven't, it's a complete non-starter. The liveCD effort was only peripherally official for the longest time, anyone that feels strongly about this issue can make their own livecd and I suspect we can find a place to host it. If the idea is that the current system is broken and the people that maintain it should use something else, i.e., someone else should do something, that is an entirely different matter and a fairly weak argument. The first step is to find out how hard it is to make an installer disk with custom kernels and software packages.
