<p>I haven't used the ISO in years, for installation does it just contain the tlnet folder?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Because then you might just make your own ISO from an rsync'ed copy on the tlnet folder from one of the mirrors<br>

</span>I had exactly the same trouble before I discovered WinCDEmu: the<br>
students who didn't own DameonTools or similar proprietary software<br>
could "extract" the `.iso' file with WinZip (okay, proprietary as well<br>
but rather common on Windows some years ago) or 7-zip, but it took too<br>
much time.<br>

<br>
</span>IMHO, mounting the `.iso' file is a better way: it is instantaneous :)<br>

<div>You can have network installation for those who can mount it using GB LAN. You can make an .iso from the network installation and give it to those who will copy it from USB and mount it locally. Thus you can have a flexible system without too much work.<br>
