In all honesty I have been deleting most of this thread without reading.

One thing that needs to be done is to start taking up a collection to
help openSuSE buy some modern servers so they can through away their
286's. And then buy a better internet connection. I'm not rich by any
means but I could chip in some.

"IF" there were two DVD's, and actually I do like the idea of having two
DVD's, I'm not so sure I would want to dedicate two or three days to
downloading them. It's bad enough having to pray that nothing goes wrong
for the twenty-some hours it takes to download one.

BEFORE you start griping that my connection is slow. It IS NOT slow. On
some severs I can get a 96/100kbs  download speed connection. On one I
actually had almost 130kbs download speed. On openSuSE I usually get
about dial up speed downloads. If the problem is not on my end it must
be on the other. I understand about connection loads but still
............. dial-up speeds ............ come on! They need to upgrade
before they even consider doing anything about two DVD's.
