I'd probably never use stage 4.  But it might help some.  I would *love* to see a full serial console based install ---  I hated having to put a monitor on a new rackmounted server that's already plugged into a serial concentrator.  Is this coming at some point in the LiveCD?

I do love the idea of a master build server --- reminds me of Sun's jumpstart which can be really handy for installs.
