I propose that we include access to the net-installer (mini.iso) when we<br> update the website to announce the release of Hardy. The mini is less<br> then 10MB total size , and allows the user to install entirely from<br>
their internet connection. The mini only includes enough information to<br> load the alt-install style installer and get the internet connection<br> working.<br> Granted, because of the size of the installer and licensing concerns, it<br>
is not able to use most wi-fi internet, but I have yet to come across a<br> NIC card that doesn't work out-of-the-box.<br> <br> This is just a suggestion.... The net installer has been around since at<br> least Dapper, and can be used to install any *buntu.... but there is no<br>
easy way to access it without digging thru <a href="http://archive.ununtu.com">archive.ununtu.com</a>:<br> i386:<br> <a href="http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/386/mini.iso">http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/386/mini.iso</a><br>
