Be sure your friend has more than 256 MB RAM on the computer he wishes to install FC5 on. RPM on FC5 seems to have gotten much more memory intensive. My home laptop is a PIII 800 with 256 MB RAM that was running FC4. I burned the 5 CDs for the FC5 upgrade, started with booting off of the first CD and 14 HOURS later it was done. I've done the FC4-->FC5 upgrade on other machines with varying amounts of RAM and CPU speed and it "seems" that life is much better with 512 MB RAM or more, regardless of cpu speed.
