Well maybe Collins or someone else can tell me this...  

I downloaded the 194MB cd to do the install but I only have a 56KB dialup 
line (24/7 tho) and I'm wondering what kind of time it is going to take 
to get it all together?  People seem to say that it takes broadband in 
which case it may not even be a starter.  But I think I'll at least get 
it started so I can see what it looks like.  Every night I could load up 
a pretty large chunk of it.

Am I crazy?  (to try gentoo...)
