Depends on What size your link to the net is too. RMIT is lucky enough to
have a 10 megabit link. Now that's quick!! OK ok... so there's the T3..
But hey, I wouldn't be compliaing about the fast link to the net in Australia.

 : i think the redhat mirror might be close to complete now btw.

Sorry, I meant the complete RPMS packages. That's all I got, not the
instimage directory, only the RPMS dir and sets directory (which is all
symlinks anyway..

Sorry for the confusion..

Regards..
