Hi Nio,
Indeed. I don't want to implement this really cool feature unless we
are guaranteed (mostly) that it will work.
I also want it to work in offline mode, if the user downloaded the ISO
and a tarball elsewhere and then goes home to a place without internet,
or with really limited dialup/mobile internet, and make dltbl check to
see if there is internet first, and then inform the user if there isn't
(do simple things like checking for a wlan0... or the odd systemd
version of that.
for example wlp2s0 on my computer.
Or check for eth0/odd systemd thing (like: enp3s0)
And advise the user to connect using wifi (if it exists) As well as
ethernet.
Perhaps have a wrapper script that checks this before running dltbl, and
then launches dltbl once there is internet, or if the user doesn't want
internet automatically open a file chooser that picks the first USB
device.... maybe even do the hard work of looking for any *.tar.* on all
USB devices and then picking something that makes sense for the user
automatically.
I know that moving from windows to Linux makes it really hard to find a
USB at first (where is my D: F: G:????) However, the file dialog will
show the mounted drives, as pcmanfm automatically shows these (gvfs
mounts them quite well) and this nice finder code can wait for a later
release.

Hi Israel,
Yes, I see what you want, and why you want all those five steps.
I hope that you will succeed easily to get down within CD size within
one file (the iso file as a stand-alone file).
Otherwise I suggest that you supply one file with a default name at
Phill's server. Once released, there can be matching release numbers
for the iso file and the tarball.
Later on we can add other tarballs and make them available via [an
improved] dltbl.
Best regards
Nio
