Hello,

I'm in a university hall so I have a very very fast connection. That
would not be the issue. Anyway, you talk about DVD: I don't think I
have a DVD burner nearby (a CD burner is certainly easier to get), can
I use CDs at least to install it?

It's very hard (at least for me it is, compared to other linux
distros), to find a way to download the ISOs. Do you have the url
handy to send it to me please?

I would think it would be quite straightforward. It seems it is not,
so I'll just leave it for some other time when I have more spare time
to pursue this question. Right now I'll then probably just try to some
blank CDs and a CD recorder.
