exactly, i looked at the list, and it lists ext3, ext4, xfs, jfs, etc... btrfs 
could easily be there amongst those.

I would indeed wait to set it by default when it has been more used and proven

This screen was never clear to me, and i never selected it, however,

i'm just thinking if we list some form of updates there by default, it could 
mean faster install (no updates later on), and if something wasn't functional, 
at release time, it could be "pushed" from repositories, so that it would work 
well.

at the same time, i think we should try to minimize the amount of packages 
needed to have working network, (or use the stuff that's in the stage tarballs 
to get network, instead of first installing part of it)

    <pre wrap="">That would mean getting network traffic, even if you have it on the iso.

how often do you have people installing ISO, then removing iso, to boot from 
disk; only to find out that you have to put it in again to install a few 
applications. granted the first reboot doesn't boot from the iso, but the 
subsequent boots do use the iso...

otoh, indeed it could mean increased network traffic...
