It requires you to have a computer you can connect to, and it is exactly
the need to have another working computer before installing Debian on
one which I would like to see eliminated.  Or can I connect to yours any
time I might need to?  Can I put software on some storage media like a
CD or DVD with that without having to come around to pick it up?

In case I do have another working computer, I don't need ssh to connect
to it.  It's easier for me to use it directly.
