   Please also note that there are different methods of starting the full
installation,

   Floppy disc (with no choice of kernel),

   Businesscard (about 30MB) plus (broadband) network connection that gives
a full choice of kernels,

   Network-installer (100MB) aimed at quick developer "testing"
installations with again no choice of kernel,

   Full CD number 1 (there are about 14 CD's in the complete set if you are
unable to download huge quantities of data from the internet), I expect to
finish building the full ISO images here within a couple of days of the
official release using Jigdo.

   Whichever method you select, you choose from about 15,000 packages.
