Am I right?
you are right. CD1 was mentioned because Greg presumed that maybe your internet connection is limited during your installation. with CD1 as a local repository, you can boot your system with the businesscard image, and install all the popular packages without connecting to the internet. if the base system is what you want to begin with, and there's no problem with the internet connection, both netinst and businesscard iso will do it. just remember to uncheck all the additional packages during the installation.
