I'm going to repeat myself exactly once more, then I'm flagging this
entire thread to /dev/null.

I'm not interested in supporting anything other than what we currently
support.  I'm not interested in spending any more of my *volunteer* time
supporting an installation method that I consider antiquated and
bug-ridden.  I am sick of wasting *my* time supporting the countless
bugs from the old networkless capabilities.  No amount of discussion
will change this.  If you want to change my mind, you are more than
welcome to initiate negotiations on my compensation for not only
building the required media, but also supporting it.  You are also free
to build the media and support it yourself.  If you're unwilling to
either pay me to do this, or do it yourself, then I simply don't care.
