I would put the needs of modem users/low bandwidth users squarely in that group since it would be impractical for them to do any large transfers to enhance/update their system. They have to rely on out-of-band means for getting their base and add-ons anyways; just like people behind a restrictive corporate firewall or those with no NIC/modem/tin-can-with-string/carrier-pigeon at all. However, the fact that they have a little bit of usable bandwidth for some Internet activities does put some low-bandwidth intensive apps into group 2) and all the dial-up access apps in group 1) though. So your comments would add "modem users" as a target group for FC. /Mike -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
