I've been watching this thread and the one thing that has been missed
and it doesn't matter what the Intelligence of the user is like.

But if some one gives you a CD saying this is a complete distro, surely
no matter how thicK you are you must realise that a complete distro can
not fit on a 700Mb CD, therefore there is more to be loaded, and when
it sets up the inet connection it should be obvious that is where the
additional  is coming from.

Had the the person have been given a DVD and told this is a complete
distro, then maybe there might be an excuse for winging about
additional downloads

Maybe a case for having  a DVD release so that those without broadband
can install the complete ish distro, but there will always be a need to 
get updates
