OK, flashbacks to my first experience with Red Hat in 1995.
Back then, Red Hat 2.0 was distributed only as source code. There was a workflow pipeline between a couple of tools they provided that would allow you to download the code, compile it on your machine, and then create floppy images. You could then use to use the floppy disks to install red hat onto your system.
For those of us lucky enough to have Internet access in 1995, on my 14.4kbps modem, it took several days to download. Then another 2 1/2 days to compile. Then it was 9 floppies, 13 if you wanted to install printer drivers. The whole process took me a week and a half before I had a stack of red hat 2.0 install floppies.
It took over an hour to install, but that was typical for operating systems back then that required installation from floppy disk.
The worst part? About two months later, red hat 2.5 was released with pre-compiled binaries and floppy images. I can honestly say that I was traumatized by the experience, lol.
