Nope since it depends on the "network" to be always present.

Anaconda just needs to be smart if it detects and sets up network 
connectivity to offer the user to install from online repo(s) instead...

What I feel we should be working towards at is that releng dvd get 
killed and the installer gets removed from live images and we provide an 
spin specific images where the user can boot into the live environment 
and "try" the spin then has to reboot and choose to install where he 
boots into anaconda and only is presented with same package set to 
install as the live environment provided that is if he's presented with 
any package selection et all.

Arguably he should only be presented with the option to install any 
additional packages if he has network connectivity .
