I don't see how the two are related. Netinstall is an alternative installation method. If you don't have a good Internet connection, then you can always order the full 14 CD set from any of a number of vendors. Or, you could go to school or work or a friend's house and install there and then take the machine home. The point is that something like 50% of everyone on the net is still on dialup. Personally, I find myself using lynx more and more often since it helps me view sites without a great deal of clutter. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
