Not true on a very old computer (especially USB)
That's why I said "the argument", implying that it's something I don't
agree with :)
I do think we need to be careful to remember that plenty of people
don't have modern setups.
Count me for one. I'm using old stuff for routing and what not- and no,
they don't even see a usb keyboard let alone boot from usb :) I actually
have to disconnect the dud slim cd and and strap in a spare internal cd,
and remove it once installed. I could setup lan boot, but believe it or
not that would be longer...
