In that regard, as I was just recently attempting this: how do I determine the DNS numbers from a website. The network install program wants these and I only had the domain name. I hope I am using correct terms here: I knew I could use "mirrors.kernel.org..." for example, but did not know how to get its 4 dotted DNS numbers. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

If you do the connection via DHCP, you can just use the name, like ftp.example.com. If that is not the case, you must look for the IP adress before you do the connection. Open a terminal and do `ping ftp.example.com` That wil,l give you the adress. It is not the official way, but it will give you the IP in (almost?) any OS. houghi -- "He's the kind of man for the times that need the kind of man he is ..."
