Perhaps a stupid question, but you describe

It seems to me that it's awfully cumbersome doing "multiple installs in 
a day" without a network connection.   Sure, you can burn a minimal 
system to a live-CD or DVD, but as soon as you want anything more (say 
some of those tools for experimenting with networking), you need to pull 
stuff from a repository, or it gets VERY cumbersome.

So... how are you doing all of those installs?

 From COMPLETE sets of purchased DVD's. I started out with only a 
dialup connection. I now have T-Mobile's smallest data plan. Some 
of my key decisions were made on aesthetic more than technical 
considerations.

They do not have to be. That wasn't the point of the question.

When the OP was asked about having an internet modem or gateway he
responded "N/A". On behalf of the OP you could perhaps explain what
that means when he obviously has a means of accessing the internet.
