But the livecd "copy to hard drive" option is a quick-and-easy way to
install a system from a single CD, at which point this is NOT just about
the CD version.
The smallest thing you can download from Fedora and install (without
requiring network access during install) is the livecd, so that is a
common path to take. You can then customize easily from there (but if
you don't know no local SMTP server was installed, you aren't liable to
go looking for it).
Sure, but...
- If you're just installing a single-user desktop, there's not really
a usage case for a local mail delivery agent
- If you're using it as a base for installing Some Other Thing, you're
already doing customization; this is just one more thing
- If you're installing a lab of machines you want to forward cron stuff
centrally, you're (hopefully) doing kickstart, not shoving the livecd
in each machine
