They could, but they may have a very poor internet connection and even a trivial first yum takes a while even with a reasonable broadband connection as it checks multiple servers and pulls 5-15Mb of content/index files before even getting to gettext downloads, and that is assuming they know gettext is what they need to yum install when ./setup.py build gives them a nasty traceback with no obvious pointers (I didn't know and I poke about with this stuff fairly frequently). Also they may have no internet connection at all, having installed Sugar from some fixed media via sneaker net.
