cel didn't work.  I had to put in _something_.

If the "installation key will be used to determine which packages to
install" as Brad stated, and it's _likely_ to be along the lines of the
current activation codes, this seems to imply some sort of external
setup (perhaps in RHN) prior to installation.  And a working Internet
connection.  Hopefully that's not the case, since that would be a
horrible mistake.  Most of the systems I install never have access to
the Internet, and the ones that do, only get it long after the install
has been performed.


Similar here; if Internet access is available, it's by chance and not
design, and its by modem. I really don't like installers (eg Debian)
that think install time is the right time to set up repos and download
(hundreds of megabytes of) updates.

And when I fire up zLinux, Internet access will be _off_.
