Actually he is in *worse* shape: he is on satelite internet. With the
Fair Use Limit, the first 450-500 meg will download quickly enough, then
things will be *worse* than dial-up. He would have to halt the install
and wait 24 hours and then resume it for the next 450-500 meg... Unless
he does a super minimual install and then does a series of 'yum install
..', each under 500 meg each day until done. Could take all of a week
that way, or about how long it would take for CheapBytes to mail out a
CentOS 5.3 DVD or CD set...
