So it is! I'd forgotten about that. I'm going to have to change my
thinking about the netboot mini.iso to something like 'super-minimal',
'micro-minimal' or 'tiny'. :)

I wouldn't know what gurus use; I tend to think in terms of ISOs, not
CDs.

Five minutes to download. A minute or so to write to a USB stick. A few
seconds to boot. But ok, my second suggestion (reading) still stands:
To have the option of setting up and using PPPoE during the
installation, you will need to install using one of the CD-ROM/DVD
images that are available. It is not supported for other installation
methods (e.g. netboot).
That's from

Footnote [29] will interest you too.
(CD-ROM is the same as CD. CD's have minimal and full versions).
