But think of those who have taken a look at the live cd and really like it, does it make any sense to put them through the hassle of having to do a download now? All they should have to do is click an "Install to Harddrive" button. Debian is missing a huge opportunity if we don't do this and we are not making friends when we do something that to the potential user does not make sense. If it were a technical issue I would defer to your judgement but I know that the SuSE live CD can be HDD installed so changing the Debian/wm live cd's to do the same should be simply a matter of gpl'ing that part of the code from SuSE.
