These days, with 100/40 Mbps Internet, "network installs" are the way to go.  I
did that with Debian a while back - download a "stub" installer that loads a
kernel and a basic set of drivers, then install the rest off the net.  One
advantage I found is that the machine I used has non free network drivers, and
the installer told me what drivers I needed.  Sure, I had to download them
manually and leave them on a USB stick, but that ensured I had a functional
network connection after the installation, instead of having to google and
guess after the fact. :)
