[<Yigal>] So can I do the following: Have an 8MBytes DiskOnKey with a Linux kernel on it, let the PC boot, load the Kernel, connect to the internet and download all the rest? Can I save the need to download the CDs, burn them and install from them? I always wondered why do I need the CDs since it's all there, on the web anyway.
