@atomicpoet My first Linux install was I believe 19 1.44MB floppy images downloaded from a university FTP server over dialup, which took a couple of days. If I could find a 486DX2-66 to install it on, it might be fun to recreate that.
Apart from the 2 day download; I have no desire to recreate 9.6 kilobaud or 14.4 kilobaud or whatever speed I was running at the time.
