This would make it installable without using a USB CD-ROM on netbooks, mini-itx pc's and other devices. It's also way faster to boot than a CD which is great for recovery usage.
Additionally you don't get all those CD's that you never got around to label collecting dust and getting scratched all over your desktop.
Actually I think burning/booting ISO's is about the only usage my workstation CD-RW has these days with disk storage being dirty cheap. Well, after download the iso you can do that to avoid booting from the cdrom:
$ sudo mount -o loop crux-2.6.iso /media/cdrom/ $ mkdir ~/crux-2.6 $ cd ~/crux-2.6 && sudo /media/cdrom/tools/unsquashfs /media/cdrom/crux.squashfs $ sudo sed 's|crux_dir=.*|crux_dir=/media/cdrom/crux|' -i ~/crux-2.6/squashfs-root/usr/bin/setup $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ $ sudo ~/crux-2.6/squashfs-root/usr/bin/setup $ sudo ~/crux-2.6/squashfs-root/usr/bin/setup-chroot bash-4.0# Kind regards, -- Jose V Beneyto | http://mikeux.dyndns.org
