+      If your Internet Connection is slow, unreliable, or you would like to perform a standard
+      installation the best method for you is one of the ones discussed in  
+      <xref linkend="sn-non-network-installation" />. This section also discusses some advanced
+      installation methods like Hard Drive installation and USB installation. The common thing
+      between all of these installation methods is that you are installing from media that is
+      in your machine. None of the installation media resides on a Network or the Internet. The
+      disadvantage to this method of installation is that for each installation you will need that
+      media. You will also have to in the case of a CD installation swap each CD as the installer
+      completes is use. In the case of a DVD this is not applicable, however if you have numerous 
+      machines to load it can still be a time consuming process.

+      Now for those of you that have a High-Speed Broadband Internet connection that is reliable,
+      there are some other options. Rather than being constrained by using you CD/DVD you can boot
+      a boot image and pull all the information directly from a Network or the Internet. The 
+      advantage to utilizing this method of installation, is the times savings. First you do are 
+      not required to download and burn the media to discs. Secondly it only requires a boot image 
+      or ISO, that is much smaller in size than the ISOs required for a disc installation. And lastly
+      there is no need to switch out the media during the install a great time saving advantage
+      when there are numerous machines to load with &FC;. The disadvantage however, is that in 
+      the case of installing from the Internet there is no method of recovery. If the install 
+      fails due to an Internet connectivity issue or if for some reason the server
+      which is the source source of the installation media goes offline, the install will have
+      to be started again from scratch. For those of you that would prefer this method of installation
+      the information can be found in <xref linkend="sn-network-installation" />.
