This would result in several complaints by many users. A networkless |
| 10 |
installation is imho frequently used (also because it's tied closely with |
| 11 |
GRP installations which are quite popular). |

One possibility (which I rather not advocate because I see more |
| 14 |
disadvantages than advantages) is to have the user build their own |
| 15 |
installation media. |

Perhaps most confusion here is because we (well, at least "I") don't know how |
| 18 |
many resources are put in all the individual subtasks of a release? |
