Before we begin congratulations to REDHAT for being picked as the OS for the
MIT $100 laptop. See http://www.tectonic.co.za/view.php?id=731 for details.
I am also glad that Fedora is getting press in www.distrowatch.com and
www.lwn.com for Core 5.

Why would you run out of time, though? How is having the time required
for downloading different from having the time required for installing?
The point being that you sometimes run out of time to complete the whole
process. To go from Fedora Core 4 to rawhide is over 1.2 Gigs of download
that took me five hours to get. To apply the 1.2 Gigs of updates took over 2
hours. This is on a 1.8 GHZ system with a 5.5 Mb/S internet connection.
Again though my biggest concern is getting things fixed quickly. PUP says
everything is uptodate when I know REDHAT has a fix available for my broken
firewall with iptables-1.3.4-2.i386.rpm in the development repo. Today I can
only seem to get it through http.
