Actually, I asked some newbielike people to check the site out WRT to CD
stuff, and one of them traversed the site like this:
/
/distrib/
/distrib/netinst
/CD/netinst/
At that point his newbie self was pretty confused :) because he didn't have
any idea whatsoever what he would do with the "CD images".
That's why I added the link to the FAQ.

You need to read more support channels, you'd see a shitload more of that. :)
