Not to get too far afield, but I might suggest the install people
consider some middle ground.
Right now I can mess with floppies for an install, or download a
600+ Meg ISO image to burn CD's. It would be extremly useful if
I could download a 5-10 Meg ISO image for a CD that was essentially
the floppy install (eg, download everything over the net), without
having to wait for a 600 M download to finish over a slow link.
