I prefer sys.tbz2 installation too. With this methode, it's possible to 
upgrade running system by installing new sys.tbz to different partition, 
copy all of the necessary file from old system. And then reboot.

No need for CD drive, and minimum downtime.

I am very glad if there are possibilities to install from ISO without 
having CD drive, may be by mounting iso file via loop device.

TIA
