+Coming in a bit late, but I see a simple solution, if one adds a few
+assumptions :
+1) maybe only 30 minutes at a time, but will have recurring access.
+2) we start with a fully working system
+3) we have enough space (memory/disk/usb-key) to store a dvd image, and
+whatever is necessary to make it bootable for install.
+4) the dvd contains the drivers/firmware necessary for wifi, basic
+video, etc.
+
+Then we
+1) Download the dvd image during the initial session. Our fully working
+connexion lets us respond to whatever connexion requirements.
+2) Install from the dvd at our leisure, without accessing Internet.
+3) The next time we are on the &quot;bus&quot;, we again access Internet, to
+install/update as we wish. Our installed system lets us respond to
+whatever connexion requirements.
+
+Another approach would be to use a live cd, instead of a dvd, but the
+dvd would likely give a more complete install the first time.
+
+As Dave notes, in North America such free access would likely occur in a
+hotel.
+Free access also occurs here in many restaurants and downtown cores, but
+I don't know if such cases would generally have license or password
+restrictions for connexion.
+
+Regards,
