I'm not sure the questions are *entirely* irrelevant, just tedious to
muck through. Poking through the options, I found the following options:
(1) Download diskette images : ideal when installing on one computer
that has snappy internet access
(2) Download diskette images, install, then set up a mirror or proxy
server : ideal for installing on a number of interconnected computers
that have snappy internet access
(3) Use PIK/JIGDO to build an ISO : ideal for installing on multiple
computers that are not interconnected, may or may not have internet
access, but at least one computer is available that is a platform that
supports PIK/JIDGO and has snappy internet access
(4) Buy CDs from resellers : ideal for when you just can't figure out
all this images stuff
(5) Download the ISO : a burden on servers, even with mirrors, and to be
avoided in preference to (3) or (4) if you -must- have CDs.
We could break these options out into a single table, instead of nested
questions, I suppose. Two columns: (1) & (2) "I'm Cool with a Few
Diskettes and an Install over HTTP/FTP" and (3), (4) & (5) "The CDs Must
Be Mine". Maybe include some eyecandy bar gauges for each method that
tells the user how simple/complex the methods' processes are.
