This won't do that I hope. My question was, even if you manage to install F16 on a machine the 50 MB download limit might block some updates. Although most package updates are small some like libreoffice-core can be substantially large. If from past experience you know this will not be a problem, then my proposal was to do a netinstall. However I just checked, even the netinstall image is 270 MB so you are out of luck. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
