Yeah, true.  I think.  Let's see, if 10 megabits would give you approx. 1
megabyte/sec (give or take), then that's (roughly) 102.4 Kbytes/sec per
megabit.  So, if a 1x CD has a 150Kbyes/sec transfer rate, then 1.5
megabits would do it, no?

Well within the reach of a cable modem, I would think.

9Hell, if I can work from home and mount NFS over a VPN, (I get about
56Kbyes/sec or so), then installing from the net should be comfortable.
