This is a serious communication problem we have, as many many people seem to
be stumbling on this problem. netinst is an very unintuitive name for this, as
it is less networked than both the businesscard and the netboot.
One solution would be to rename them to base-installation (baseinst), which
would be more logical, but probably a technical or documentation nightmare at
this time ?
