I'm a newbie but not that new either. I meant that (if I'm not wrong) RHL
6.0 comes with a CD that contains the sources of all the software on the
main cd.
Now if I download all the sources from the above said sites, let's see

600MB * 1024kb * 8bits * 28.8kbps /3mins /60secs * Rs 1.10 ...

Well I think you get the idea.

And then taking them to surat (considering I cannot get my hands on a
CD-writer) on 600MB / 1.44 MB floppies....
Well no thanks.

I want the source CD because in Surat I'll be isolated as far as Linux and
the net are concerned. And I do think I can use the sources of _every_
piece of software on the disk. 

Would GT Enterprises have the source-only cd? 
Also I'm thinking of trying out Debian. Would I get the entire package from
Cheapbyte?
