Some do, there are USB floppies too.
I wouldn't be opposed to having a set of kickstart config files on the isos too, interactive of course, but I'll wait for those to be submitted.
What would be nice for kickstart files on iso's namely DVD iso is pre-defined installs for postfix mail server, sendmail mail server, mysql database server , postgresql server etc. Ones that install a predefined set of packages. but have the user set partitioning, root password etc.
That I think is where a Ferdora Server spin would add a lot of value: if it came with the tools that are necessary to set up various 'server personalities' (for lack of a better word)
There's a good amount of overlap with this idea and the 'virtual appliances' that everybody likes these days. From a sysadmin's point of view, the two should be very similar.
