The different installation media just provide different installation methods. "Bootonly" downloads the system over the Internet and installs it; the standard images contain the system; the large, 2Gb image contains the system, plus a frozen snapshot of the package repository, so you can install application packages from it if you don't have a reliable Internet connection. -- :: Brandon J.
