++ More user-friendliness in general:
+ + you can choose between multiple net devices when more than one are
+ detected
+ + you are presented with the media descriptions (disks, cdrom's)
+ when you must choose between multiple media, and not only "sda",
+ "hdc", ..
+ + when installing from a disk partition, you are presented with an
+ extract of the directory contents when you fail to give the
+ correct location, which is very helpful to correct the input
+ instead of simply rebooting to remember where on earth you
+ mirrored the distribution on your disks
+
++ Automatic mode (Redhat's equivalent is called "kickstart") is not
+ performed according to a file on the floppy but from kernel parameters,
+ which have many pros, among them: (1) we don't need the vfat filesystem
+ for that purpose, and (2) with advanced bootloaders such as grub and
+ lilo you can edit parameters on the fly at boot time.
