Spend a hour downloading an iso image. Doc says I have to burn an ISO CD and boot from it.
As mentioned, you could have used a USB flash drive, or something else. Check out Unetbootin, for example, which is custom made for this kind of thing.

Anyway, it should be clear this isn't a point against linux in favor of the others; I'd hate to think how hard it would be to try to install Windows without an optical drive or network connection.
