Oh, now I get it.  But that raises another question: why then is there a need
for two network-based installation methods: netinst and netboot?  Why not
just use netboot for all network-based installs and save some duplication
of effort?  Then again, there are two flavors of netinst: regular and
"business card".  (Or is "business card" considered a separate installation
method?)  Why so many flavors?  Why not use the netboot CD for everything?
