I don't know where you got that idea. When seeing what different
Linux distributions existed I build over 30 Linux variant ISO sets.
All were just boot and install and the only cost was the time
for the dl. But I just did that on an alternate login so it was
totally transparent.
The only tricky one was SuSE which doesn't have regular install
ISO's. It had a boot ISO image and then you build the system
from the RPMS on 3 CD images. The only distribution I ever bought
was a $29 Mandrake at Costo when the all the trade press was
shouting Linux.
I look - and maintain a couple of Linux machines - but most are
BSDs .
