Actually, I'd agree with that statement.  *MOST* Linux users install
from CDROMS.  If it weren't that way I'd argue that Linux would not be
as popular as it is, since their network installations are just
recently as easy as the FreeBSD installation.  They essentially copies
the FreeBSD install to do network installations.
