I tried to install the latest netinstall version (20210622) of
rawhide yesterday using optical media. Everything seems to work
fine, except... without a net connection it does not fall back to
using the minimal install on the CD.
There is no minimal install on the CD. With netinst, there is only the
installer on the CD, nothing else. That's why it is "netinst". If you
want an offline install, you need to use the Server DVD, or a
Workstation Live. Or have a repo mirror locally (either on a
different drive, or on your LAN, etc).
Are you sure? It is 683 MB, which is about the same as a live CD. And
in the images directory of the CD there is an install.img. I think the
net connection is only needed for installing additional software from
the repos.
It's that size because it basically is a live CD. The install.img is
the OS that runs the installer.
There used to be a true netinstall, that did everything from the net,
and it was really small, see below. I loved it, but it fell by the
wayside.
menuentry 'Boot BFO' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux16 /bfo.lkrn

The reason that was so small was because it downloaded the install.img
over the internet instead of getting it from the iso. This is also how
PXE installs usually work.
However, I will take your answer as meaning that this is no longer a
supported option in the netinstall image. Maybe that can be removed
from the netinstall image to make it a very small download if it is no
longer needed.
There's nothing to remove. The install.img is necessary.
