But a text mode installer that could use the LiveCD squashfs
filesystem as the source would make a lot of sence actually. If direct
copying can be done (without a repack, unpack cycle), then the speed
of install could be a lot higher. And at the same time the resourse
useage of such installer would be similar to regular text mode
install.
