23 If you are building a system, you can use any livecd to boot into and
24 then download whichever stage tarball and kernel you want. The only
25 issue is that your system isn't "hardened" while you are building it.
26 Of course if you are really paranoid, then download/verify/burn to a cd
27 and use that on the new system before you ever connect to the net.
