This'd be less of an issue if it were easy to install extra stuff, afterwards, without an internet connection. Has the add/remove software feature been improved in that direction since FC6? If one could get a smallish installation file, and a largish extra one, boot from the smaller and install. Reboot with a working system and add files from the larger one, in a simple manner, whether from another burnt disc or directly from the downloaded file, without needing any sort of network involved, things would be pretty good. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.)
