Thanks for your explanations, Greg and Michael. It was lucid and very
helpful. I have one more question, Greg.
Why do you say that CD1 would be useful if we don't have a net
connection. It seems that the netinstall can install a base system as
well. I hope netinstall would install a system with the basic tools
like ls, aptitude, vim, etc. If so, netinstall is good enough to setup
a minimal install and download the remaining packages from internet
whenever I need using aptitude. Am I right?
