How many MB is minimum functional FTP install?
Hello, I am planning to try installing 8.1 via FTP on a small machine soon; unfortunately I am on a dialup 56k connection. The target box is a P133 w/ 32MB RAM and a 1.2GB HD, and 24x CDROM drive. It's connected to my home LAN via a Netgear FA310TX card, and I have a ZoomAir wireless accesspoint/gateway that dials my Zoom 56k external modem. About how many megs is the minimum install via FTP? I have downloaded and burned the boot.iso to a CD on my eMac, and it appears readable and all that good stuff. I'm itching to put it to the acid test and boot it here soon. Also, does the FTP install support resume, or something of the sort? My connection being as slow as it is, may get dropped a couple times in the course of downloading a hundred megabytes or more of files, so it would be more than a slight PITA if I have to restart the install every time the modem drops the connection. Thanks, Monte
