A one size fits all installation method is not always ideal and personally I dislike it
That's why Ubuntu has the second install CD for power users who want total control over the install. I agree that this method of install should remain. I am not suggesting that the live install replace the detailed installers, but that all distros should adopt the live installer as an option. The live CD is also a good way to test compatability with your machine (such as on laptops).

A one size fits all installation method is not always ideal and personally I dislike it. Fair enough it makes it easy for certain groups of people e.g. newbies to install Linux, but for someone who needs total control over the installation and what gets installed, such an approach is no good.
