Yes it is, but I managed to do it a few days after the release overnight over my
ADSL connection.
BTW, I actually believe that the distibutions based on the 2.6 kernel are not
ready for prime time. Fortunately, Mandrake 10.0 as an option to install the
well proven kernel 2.4, and that's a really good idea.
Personally I still use Fedora Core 1 enhanced with a post-installer I have
written (updates what needs to be, and installs all the stuff missing from the
release for legal reasons: multimedia players able to read DVDs and MP3 and
other stuff).
