Excellent! This is exactly the type of FAQ I was looking for, except...

Except that the instructions refer you to the mirror RPM and to XCDroast,
which means that I can't use those instructions unless I already have
Linux installed, which I don't.

I want to burn the CD from a Windows system.  Is that impossible?  Do the
symbolic links doom me?  This is a purely academic question, as I am ready
to borrow the disks from you or Matt or buy them from CheapBytes or come
to an ACLUG meeting and buy them or or or, BUT I am still curious.  Is it
impossible for a Windows user to pull himself up by his bootstraps?

Heh, I'm from Newton too.  In fact, we've played frisbee together on the
Bethel College green if I'm not mistaken.  ;-)
