I don't see how the two are related.  Netinstall is an alternative
installation method.  If you don't have a good Internet connection, then
you can always order the full 14 CD set from any of a number of vendors.
Or, you could go to school or work or a friend's house and install there
and then take the machine home.  The point is that something like 50% of
everyone on the net is still on dialup.  Personally, I find myself using
lynx more and more often since it helps me view sites without a great
deal of clutter.
