10 Not having an ISO is not really an issue. After all CD drives are something
11 fairly modern :D...

13 Joking aside, I can imagine architectures where it's preferable to set up a
14 stage directly from a running maintenance system (maybs s390???). Also, none
15 of my arm gadgets comes with a CD drive, so I had to e.g. prepare the stage on
16 a memory card with another box.

18 That said, blindly stabilizing more and more stuff on dying arches certainly
19 is a waste of time.
