That does not sound right at all. Why would anyone on the slow network bother to download a full DVD and install only a part of it? It makes sense for them to download a NET image and let the installer download *only* the needed/wanted packages from the repositories.
That makes sense on a limited download cap internet connection, not on a bandwidth limited internet connection (ie, a slow connection). On a slow connection, installing from the net image can take a full day or more, and crash with network hiccups. It is preferable to slowly donwload the dvd while you keep working or sleeping.
For me, DVDs always make sense when downloaded elsewhere. On places with fast network like universities. Then burn it (or provide it via pxe), bring home and install w/o downloading anything.
No, I have a slow internet, which is WHY I download them instead of installing NET. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
