I don't understand this. You get maximum flexibility by separate "Download
from Internet" and "Install from Local Directory" operations. That way you
can download sources and have them at hand without unconditionally
installing them.
By copying my local installation cache to a CD, I can save others very
large downloads.
I cannot see this as a loss of functionality.
Can you tell me some functionality only available when one uses "Install
from Internet?"
