How long is this LUG meeting and Would you like me to bring my LOTR DVD?

Or should I just bring a copy of Anna Karenina? (Longer than War and
Peace)

You'll wind up downloading everything basically. There is a optional
install now that will install the binary verions of things like X and
openoffice
for some builds. Not sure about PPC.

Stage 2 and stage 3 builds are CPU specific. You can save some time
using these,
if you do you know  your system. Else the stage 2 and stage 3 are built
by the stage 1.

You can install from stage 3 and it is supposed to save you time at the
cost of configuration. I've never been able to get anything except a
stage 1 to install. Probably HW related.

YMMV,
