We could make this a bit clearer - something like 'the installer should
not require you to configure a package repository, it should be able to
install using the packages present on the USB stick'.

We could probably add bits to the 'how to test' section for this,
something like. For instance, ask the user to boot the installed system
without the USB stick plugged in, to ensure the bootloader was installed
to the hard disk, not the USB stick.
