Well it still would be better NOT to use the "seriously" option
of FORMAT: Without that option, FORMAT can ask for permission
itself. Less chance of misunderstanding about what the user
has to decide about, less chance to end up formatting if any
permission-asking thing goes wrong in the batch scripts...

Then I definitely recommend to try ELTORITO first when booting
from CDROM. More reliable and better support.

That would still take 3-4 times longer for downloading
than the "base with sources" cdrom :-(.
