If that is true, than you (and everyone else involved in this thread) is
a troll for not assuming he was talking (if he even is) about a cdrom
based distro.  Clearly the onus is on you to ask questions if you don't
know the answer.  You can't go around all the time assuming you know
everything about everyone else.  Basic assumtions, yes.  Gross oversight
and/or wanton ignorance of what is being discussed is no excuse.
