OK, so you are arguing for getting the packages off the install CDs or DVDs
when they are available there, not over the net? Sounds reasonable. AFAIU,
SUSE does exactly that.

In any case, the /reasonable/ dial-up user will check locally first. Plus
somebody who has got just dialup is quite unlikely to have enough machine
to spare to install gobs of useless stuff...
