Huh? Networking was on the previous floppy set. Why not just have a
fourth floppy?
That was one of the things that really impressed me about Debian - you
install the base disks, and you actually have a useful little system
which can ftp the other files. With Redhat, the base disks give you a
pretty X interface but little else.
Do users really compare distributions by how many floppies it takes to
bring them up?
