I *said* that I was writing a document on this, but people seem to just want to keep on postulating and talking about complete inaccuracies. Yes, you can install using portions of the installer from the command line (not ncurses). Unfortunately, one component necessary for a complete install from the command line (installing a kernel) was not added until after 2006.1 shipped, so you cannot do a completely networkless install with only the LiveCD/LiveDVD. > At this point though I think using the installer is reasonable enough.
