Alright, so you have all these people now who have been able to turn their old desktops that were useless into mean lean machines with DSL. Actually, it seems as if half the people who use DSL are using it on older computers as their main OS.

So, why not make a NON-live-CD DSL package? That way, when those people with older computers what to put DSL on, they can put the install cd in, and boot up. In seconds they would be installed, using some type of simple installation method.

I think it would work, what do you guys think? I think it would be a great asset to the growing DSL world ;)

I do believe there's a relatively simple way to do that from the isolinux screen of the standard liveCD.  Something like hdinstall=/dev/hda.
