fedora-devel-list would probably be the closest place. Looking at the
source, I think it might actually be 64 MB.

I'd guess no, if only because the RPMS are distributed across the CDs.
You should be able to copy the RPMS from the CDs into a single
directory, run createrepo on them, and then use that as a local
repository.

Yum updating. As to the segfault itself, its likely one of those things
that is not going to be fixed in 2.0, as I'm focusing all of my time on
3.0 and beyond at this point.

I also don't have a SPARCstation LX (I thought I did, but it was only an
IPC). I'll drag the IPC to work this week and test some 3.0 installs on
it.
