+aleph Instead of "self-contained install" media we could also provide a CD image for "network based installs" (which can be pointed at: isos, http, ftp sites, networked isos, local DVD media) we would be able to do all that. And guess what? This really isn't all that much work to add to our install as we already have several options and we just need to add a few more. Casper
