Strictly spoken, it not mentioned in that paragraph, that a
"network/internet connection is _necessary_", but one can assume that
maybe, since it is talking about "downloading the base system".
Maybe we could change this:
..., it consumes a
- significant fraction of the install because it downloads, verifies and
+ significant fraction of the install because it loads, verifies and
unpacks the whole base system.
"Load the base system" is generic enough to be valid for
"load from CD" as well as for "load from network/internet".
