I like this idea, sometimes it's not possible to connect to the internet (e.g. if you have dhcp as only option and bug #5669 isn't fixed yet) or if you're installing a standalone machine. Whenever you download the distribution you always have the most uptodate packages. Of course sometimes a CD is faster than an internet connection and sometimes it's not possible (or too difficult) to create a local mirror if you have a lot of machines to update (lame excuse, I know, but it might help newbies ;-) Cheers Simon
