Updating via the web

[Paul Lemmons]

Let's see... 4 CD's... that is about 2.5GB and that is roughly
2,684,354,560 bytes. Now, your modem is 56Kbits per second. That is
roughly 5.5Kbytes per second or 5,632 Bytes per second. 

If we divide the amount of data by the transfer rate we get... hold
on... <pencil scratching noises> ... 476,625 seconds to do the download.
Rounding to a whole hour that is 132 hours or 5.5 days! (assuming you
don't need your phone for anything else and that the files actually
arrive uncorrupted)

You probably will not need every file from all four CD's so you may be
able to cut the time in half :-{

Speaking of updates, is it possible to update from FC2 to FC3 over the 
web?  I can not burn CDs and also run on a 56kModem.
