  As it is now, the entire distro is contained in a single tarball and 
the installer only needs to format the drive and dump the tarball onto 
the formatted drive and run setup. When you go to package management you 
have a whole new game and it would be a lengthy install or would it not 
be necessarily so?

  Depending how common of a packaging system is used, it could set up 
IPCop to be abused easily by the folks wanting to run server software 
and more on their firewall.
