Yes, depending on your install (and whether or not you use the stage3) you |
11 |
will need to download data from 200 MB to over a gigabyte. It is possible to |
12 |
do this downloading at another site and transfer the sources by |
13 |
cd-(re)writeable. Installing by modem is possible but not advisable |
14 |
(especially if you need to pay per minute/second). |
