(It has been already commented in this thread several times)

That you can burn it somewhere else and then install it. Many people 
install that way.

Examples:

 - A private person gets it from a friend or an internet cafe or from the
   job place, then installs it at home.

 - A (relatively) high security job environment, where access to internet
   is blocked (even though they have network), but nevertheless they use
   and install linux. I've worked on such places, and both java (sun) and
   Acrobat reader are a must, no alternatives.
