  I realize this is theoretical stuff at this point, but ...

  Is there any good reason for _requiring_ a CD-ROM drive?  Some
of us are in university or other environments (like my pokey
home 10Mb network) where we have sufficient bandwidth to local
machines that can serve as NFS/ftp/install-program servers.
I've got a radio/tape/CD player in my home office of four
Ether-networked computers, so I don't see a particular need to
buy a CD-ROM drive and CD-ROM for the sole purpose of doing
friendly installs/upgrades.  :)
