thats not true. A bare metal install will finish before your livecd has 
finished booting. I have c5/node's build in just under 270 seconds from 
machine powerup - usb/optical media just cant shift data fast enough to 
first boot an environment then kickup an installed.

being done.

distro-aware tools. Ofcourse, that does not matter if you don't need 
those tools anyway.
