I thought I'd seen them with prior releases.

The net install CD expects me to already know where something is instead of offering me a choice from a list as well as a blank, even over the Internet. Fedora Core does as well. This has completely turned me off any recent Red Hat-based distro ever made. RPM does a great job of doing this as well.

I've always just downloaded the CD images to a directory on my server that was visible with NFS. I always found installations over the network trivially easy with that method. As for RPM, I don't have strong opinions about packaging methods. Yum has made RPMs pretty manageable. I will say that apt-get seems faster at resolving dependencies though. But then I like those big-ass installations so dependencies are less of an issue
