BTW, it won't be fast or small.

the raw zip files are about 12Mbyte each and expand to about 26MB, so it 
will eat about 400 MB of your disk. (although you can delete the files 
when it's done)

You're going to want a fairly speedy internet connection for the 108 
MByte download. That's a good 20 minutes at 1 Mbps.
