On 05-Dec-97 Jonathan Stone spoke unto us all:

# I'm surprised you'd want to type more addresses than necessary, but

What if I'm installing on local boxes with no internet connection?  It seems a
nameserver would be a possible nightmare to contend with.

Curious, can the new install use a ppp line to fetch the tarballs?  I used to
hack a disk together containing kermit, rz and sz so I could do installs
without the use of DOS on lone machines alot..  having built in ppp would be
nice..
