Unsurprisingly, I use the second most convenient machine to install onto that one. In addition, I lose the benefit of apt-cacher-ng for that particular installation process. If I'm installing a new release, then I save the normal cache's contents, and later import all its .deb files into apt-cacher-ng on my workstation's new installation. One more convenience of installing like this is that you can have the release notes, your own aide-memoires, and other reference documents, open on the same machine while you're running the installer. Cheers, David.
