+ If your Internet Connection is slow, unreliable, or you would like to perform a standard

+ 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

+ 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

+ 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" />.
