There's no relationship between the size of the installer and the size
of the installed system. You can use the businesscard installer to
install a full GNOME 3 system.
There's no relationship between the size of the installer and the
interaction with the installer . Whether you use the businesscard
installer, the netinst installer, or the "full CD" installer, you
interact with the installer with the same d-i interface.
The difference between the businesscard and the netinst installers is
that the businesscard installer cannot install a system without an
internet connection whereas the netinst installer can, at most,
install a base system without an internet connection.
