The latter.

Just disconnect the ethernet cable.

Haven't tried that yet. I suppose you'd miss quite a lot though; a
DVD-1 iso would be your best bet in this case.

you are right.
CD1 was mentioned because Greg presumed that maybe your internet
connection is limited during your installation. with CD1 as a local
repository, you can boot your system with the businesscard image, and
install all the popular packages without connecting to the internet.

if the base system is what you want to begin with, and there's no
problem with the internet connection, both netinst and businesscard
iso will do it. just remember to uncheck all the additional packages
during the installation.

One point on the NetInstall and BusinessCard images, they do NOT work
unless connected to the 'Net.

Up through Woody, those images would install a minimal system. But not
now, they error when there is no 'Net connection and will not continue
the install.

So for non-networked installs, CD#1of Gnome, KDE or Xfce flavors are a
minimum. Make it easy on yourself and get a DVD#1.
