The installer still lets the user choose 'Distribution is from'
during configdist. However, no code checks for $distisfrom being
set to net:

	; grep distisfrom /rc/bin/inst/*
	/rc/bin/inst/configdist:	if(! ~ $distisfrom net local){
	/rc/bin/inst/configdist:	distisfrom=$rd
	/rc/bin/inst/configdist:	export distisfrom
	/rc/bin/inst/mountdist:	if(! ~ $distisfrom local && ! ~ $download done){
	; 

Do we have any plans for this option, or should it be removed?

the check is inverse, mountdist checks if distisfrom is *not* local
and download is *not* done and then falls thru to the download stage.

it hasnt been tried for a long time, but it gets me to download stage,
but that fails because hget has no -v option anymore. i can try fixing
this...

.... and its done, just using ip/httpfile to mount the iso over http.

maybe later fix it properly and use torrent with progress bar and shit,
but this at least works for now. it also prompts for the installation
url now.
