Do we need to go over this again?

There *are* machines out there without CDROM and there's surely a lot
of BIOS out there that can't boot from the CDROM.

Also, I like the idea of grabbing a 1.44MB file, writing it to a
floppy and doing a network install of the necessary bits instead of
downloading the whole ISO.

Much more bandwidth friendly for our non-broadband friends out there.

Please, let the dead horse alone.

A.
