Mint itself only ships Live Desktop ISOs (Cinnamon/MATE/Xfce) -- these
are inherently the "fat" self-contained variant already (packages in
the squashfs, no network dependency during install). The
netinstall-vs-DVD customer choice documented for the general model
doesn't apply to this specific backend; a genuine netinstall
alternative would mean plain Ubuntu Server/Subiquity, a different
backend entirely.
