Question netinstall disc

So for us guys that want to start with a minimal system and just download the rest. Is there any plans for one in the near future?

Well at least for the network install part, you can boot from either the boot.iso CD (6.4MB) (or from the first install CD and use "linux askmethod" boot prompt) and you can choose http or ftp sites as the install method.

I would assume that works on the dvd as well. What is that boot.iso?

Whaw! And that would work just as well as installing a complete system with, to take an example, Debian? Because if that's the case, it should be pimped _a lot_ more, unfortunatley, I don't have a disc-drive to try it on, but if anyone jumps on this, please let us all know!

Thanks - this was just what I was looking for.

Will we be offered a list of http or ftp sites when we do this, or do we need to know what to enter in advance please?

If the latter, where can I find a list of suitable sites please? I am in the UK, so UK or European mirrors are best.
