I installed an FC2 beta a while ago via dialup off the wild internet.

I used another box running Apache as a proxy; when my connexion dropped 
I reconnected and restarted, loading from the cache.

It would work extremely well from broadband except for one little 
problem: I have good evidence http install doesn't actually work.
