It was very handy to be able to download the checksummed and verified
DVD image, and to include in hand all the tools network installation
of various environments. This was particularly handy for VMware setups
(where local ISO storage space might be tight but useful for
installation from a network bootable image) or hardware without DVD
drives (such as industry legacy hardware).

I am glad that the excessively large number of installation CD's are
being avoided, through, thank you.
