> While installation and update via web browser makes sense as an option, it must not be the only option.  What if the user starts with a blank hard drive, nothing installed?  Then one needs to be able to install from CD, DVD or USB drive.

If the user starts with a blank HDD then the installer loads from the
CD/DVD, starts the web server on the disc and the user browses to the 
machine as normal.
