What is netinstall though ?

@sam9669 net installer.
It installs the system by pulling the packages fresh from the *online* repository.

A "normal" installer has the packages on the media, and hosts a local repository that it's pulls from, allowing offline installation.

Some offline installers just copy the packages directly and rebuilds the package database afterwards though. :)

With a good network, netinstall is as close to heaven as it gets

@siksik smooth and flawless. It writes on your disk like the law in Moses tables.
