If a DVD is chosen as the default medium, I wonder how hard it would
be to provide a "burn me a server CD" (or burn me a (K/X/Edu)buntu CD)
from a liveDVD session? Perhaps it could be made to work on a system
with sufficient (1 Gig) of RAM, so the iso image could be created
whilst the DVD is in the drive, then written out in one pass to a
blank CD.

That would address the case above, but I don't know if it is common
enough to be worth the effort.
