You can install from netinst without networking to get just a base system. People that need extra firmware for their network cards, a new kernel, have to configure isdn or something else to get networking later will need this. You can also use the first CD/DVD from a set and then install the rest from a mirror. Unles you do have all CDs/DVDs of a set you want to use a mirror. Also don't forget that basically everybody wants to use a mirror for security no matter what image type he uses. So I don't see how you can ever skip the "use a mirror" question as any case might need it (and all might want to say no). So my comment is: If you have networking setup you have to ask for the mirror. MfG Goswin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
