I'll have to chime in with the same comment at this point. The cost in phone
bills to FTP all this stuff and, as Manuel notes, having to go back time after
time to get the packages you need to resolve dependencies, will cost you more
than the TurboLinux CD, I suspect.  Even if you prefer to use Red Hat, install
the TurboLinux Japanese packages and you'll be in good shape.
