Broadband IS the solution :)

Well I'll be hornswaggled - not even RH 7.0 will even begin installing. So far, I have failed 
miserably with RH 7.0, 7.3 and 8.0. I haven't tried any of the other distributions yet. I'll 
probably try something else too, and see if I can't make this blasted thing suck it up and let me 
install...
