Thanks for your explanations, Greg and Michael. It was lucid and very helpful. I have one more question, Greg. Why do you say that CD1 would be useful if we don't have a net connection. It seems that the netinstall can install a base system as well. I hope netinstall would install a system with the basic tools like ls, aptitude, vim, etc. If so, netinstall is good enough to setup a minimal install and download the remaining packages from internet whenever I need using aptitude.
