+      Now for those of you that only have dial-up or slow broadband you could download 
+      the media, but as discussed in previous sections of this guide it may take a very 
+      long time so your best option would be to purchase the media. There are 
+      numerous sources available on the Internet for purchasing the &FC; installation
+      media. If you a user that is new to Linux or &FC; it is recommended that
+      you choose an option that includes a well written &FC; book with the 
+      installation media.
