The common wisdom seems to be that a network install will beat a cd
install simply because the medium is faster, and you do not have ot futz
around with swapping cd's etc.

I lose cd's, floppies, bits of paper. Ideally information (that includes
documentation, legal files, software et al) should be available online
with good search tools.
