Sorry, I should have explained what this was for:

My 2 day-to-day PCs (& Tracy's machine) are already switched over to
update via the web.

This netinstall download is to get Sarge on an old PC that doesn't have
a DVD drive, only a CD.

Once I have burned the ISO image I will use the CD for this old machine
& then complete the installation over the network.
