Erik, he could avoid this step by mounting the distribution from cd if
you were to, say, send him a CDROM drive. Otherwise, when he says it
doesn't have a drive, that would mean he can't mount the cd.
I've had this same problem myself. Is it one of those "Oh, not worth
fixing, everyone should be booting from CD anyway" problems (known
about but not going to be fixed, ever), or what?
