Installing Indy all from a download

[LocutusPC2@aol.com]

Assuming I was sucidal enough to do this...how many years would it take me to 
download the whole thing at about 49k (about what In usually get on this 
crappy thing)? I'm a complete and utter linux newbie though...I've installed 
a slackware thing that used a dos file system and even managed to get it to 
install X, although no luck w/ KDE...is there anything I can get away with 
not downloading? I just wanna play around with it, it would probably not 
become my primary os...yet. Thanks for any assistance you may be able to give
