The only time the internet is required is during the install, as it pulls
down the latest versions of programs/libs etc...

No, the install of AmiDeb is scripted to do 98% of the install. It only
asks things like hostname/domain, Locale/Lang, it chooses "Guided" for
the hd partition's, but they can be changed. At the end it powers the pc
down.

Then when the pc boot's up, it presents a txt based menu system all ready
to go, and just needing the kickstart rom's, any adf, and hdf files to
have a working emulation machine.


The iso is 491Mb when unziped, and is only ziped to allow the inclusion
of documentation.
