I think more of it as "Installer.app on steroids", but I am aware that
Installer.app has also grown and provides functionality that
i-Installer does not. Installer is able only to install what is needed
(after having downloaded it all) in a fine grained way, i-installer
installs large chunks, but only downloads these as needed. Again, both
approaches have advantages and disadvantages. <br>

Again just out of academic curiosity. Are you saying that:<br>
<blockquote>Apple Installer downloads everything and <i>then</i> picks
and choses from what it has downloaded what it needs to install and
leaves the rest lying around<br>

while<br>
<blockquote>i-installer decides up front what it will need to install
and <i>then</i> picks and choses what actually to download from what is
downloadable?<br>
