Most people try not to download the whole thing. If you only need the first three, then download them. Then you have everything you need to start installing.
I would say most people will download the whole thing. If they were interested in only downloading what they needed, we only would need either boot.iso or CD1.
1. Boot.iso and CD1 are not "complete". If you want to install a "normal" system, you will need CD1-3 AFAIK.
That should be the first goal, to get the people to installation quickly, without having them using the FTPs for too long.
Quickly? boot.iso or CD1.
But not "complete, see above.
Maybe the 3CD-Set torrent (one for 1-3, one for 4+5) would be a good idea. Then everybody would get the first 3CD-Set, and hopefully seed them again. Then this would be an improvement regarding the FTP-Load.
That could be a nice solution.
Lets hope for it then. OJ -- Have you ever noticed that the Klingons are all speaking unix? 'Grep ls awk chmod.'' 'Mknod ksh tar imap.' 'Wall fsck yacc!' (that last is obviously a curse of some sort). Gandalf Parker
