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... > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Download the Model Railroad System http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Binaries for Linux and MS-Windows heller at deepsoft.com -- http://www.deepsoft.com/ModelRailroadSystem/
