OK.

Ethernet connections do not cause a lot of problems under Linux as
they sometimes do under Windows. You should consider adding a network
connection as you will be able to more easily stay up to date with new
releases as well as install things you find you need over time.

I would guess that some version of each of them is available. If the
apt-get files are properly modified then my guess is that Synaptic
will tell you what is available from the CDs. (I've never run a CDROM
based Planet machine so I am guessing though.)

As far as I know, yes, it should be enough. I don't so much with RPMs
anymore, but that sounds a bot right. IF you are a Linux newbie, then
please be very careful to get RPMs meant for your specific release. Do
not try mixing FC2/RH9 RPMs on a FC1 machine.

Good luck,
