And there's no reason that one cannot download, through 'setup.exe', or
with one's favorite utility, the full distribution and then make one's own
DVD.  Then one could use 'setup.exe' to install the files from the DVD
instead.  If _one_ wanted to. ;-)

'setup.exe' is not just a network installer, though that is it's most common
usage.
