| This is theoretically possible, by booting a specialized diskette image,
| including the vfat, iso9660, and loop kernel modules compiled for the
| installation kernel, and then hack the installation script to load those
| modules and use the loopback mounted image as installation source.
|
| What I mean is, it is probably easier to get hold of a CD or CD-Burner,
| download the CD as seperate files, or even copy the files from the image as
| suggested earlier.
