Oh, now I get it. But that raises another question: why then is there a need for two network-based installation methods: netinst and netboot? Why not just use netboot for all network-based installs and save some duplication of effort? Then again, there are two flavors of netinst: regular and "business card". (Or is "business card" considered a separate installation method?) Why so many flavors? Why not use the netboot CD for everything? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
