I indeed agree that having a nice and very minimal pattern is a good
thing to deploy servers, however this new base system uses less disk
space in MB than the RAM required to run the distribution installer...
is there any work being done to reduce the memory footprint of the
installer ( other than speeding up the package manager stuff that is the
 main cause of slowness ..) ???

Also the installer may **feel** faster if network installation were
threaded, nowdays it dowloads package --> install package without trying
to download the next package while installing..(Im not claiming that
this will be less resource hungry though.. but an **option** do do this
will be nice ;) )
