I think that a one cd installation like ubuntu is NOT a good idea for
the simple reason that on a single disc, the packages that we have to
get rid of are the language packages. And if these packages are needed
during the installation, like ubuntu, an internet connection is
required. But many people do not have an ethernet connexion with dhcp.
Many still have a usb modem, which make impossible the download and make
the distribution harder to configure.

I like anaconda very much, far more than Mandriva's installer. However
it needs improvements with yum, through bug report, on speed i think.

The theme question is not a relevant topic from my point of view as
themes can be changed in a very easy way.
