.. And one would /think/ that someone with that sort of interest would
pretty quickly discover the online media sources, as well.  At least, a
developer or even a user that would need to install it to manage his own
compiling or rpm rebuilding  would be far more likely to already know and
be able to manage an online d/l source than joe user with his
"non-essential" screen savers and other toys.  As well, a Mozilla
developer or referencing package compiler will far more likely have a
decent speed net connection, than ordinary joe user with his dialup modem,
by self-selection on the types of devel package he's interested in.
