How does a 3CD download compare to a standard FTP installation with boot.iso when you look at FTP-load?
I dont know. But again: Newbies and boot.iso... But I know that a FULL-6CD-Download is worse than a 3CD-Download.
It could be (please tell) that 3 large ISO's is better for the FTP server then a lot of small ones. Naturaly it will depend if all iso's can fit into memory and if there is enough bandwitdh available. So it might vary from server to server.
I was talking about the users that want/need the CDs, and don't use the boot.iso. And AFAIK the ISOs might be in the RAM already, as the might be requested more often.
