I hope I haven't asked this question already; I've been thinking about it for a while, but haven't (I think) gotten around to it.
Is it possible to do an FTP install of SuSE over modem? I'm thinking ahead to 8.2, of course, but I presume the method wouldn't change from 8.1. I tried to do this with 8.1, in fact (before buying a copy), but as far as I could determine, the boot disks don't have support for establishing an FTP connection via modem.
Yeah, I know it'd be slow as heck, but I don't have the cash to buy a copy of 8.2, I don't care about any of the buy-only programs (heck, I don't even know what they are), and I don't have any helpful broadband friends to burn a copy of the FTP tree for me, so... is it possible at all, or am I just SOL?

Hey Fred, Holler at me at my e-mail address, and if you're willing to pay for the price to send them, I'll give you my CD's (I need the DVD's though, since I don't have a DVD recorder nor any blank DVD's, heh. I also want to keep the box and books, so basically, all you'd be getting are the original CD's and that's all. Up to you bud.
