Anyway, Internet-based video delivery is becoming a reality. If the networking providers will get off their bums and start providing true high-speed Internet to the home, this will be no different than downloading a DVD is for someone with today's "high-speed" Internet.
So perhaps it's a bit ahead of its time, but hopefully not much. Why would someone who uses internet based video delivery download a 25GB medium with 90% software he never uses and wait for the download to finish to start installation if he can do a network installation right away and only download what he needs in the same video delivery speed?
I download the entire ftp every OS release. I installed 80 machine in the first 48 hours after the release. It would have been next to impossible to do them without my entire Download. I created 15 mirrors of my ftp to do all the installs. I purcashed the 2 DVD boxed set. I was really hoping it would continue. I often have clients that do not have the internet acccess to do the installs. Having the 2 DVD made my life a lot easier. I had my clients purcashing them to do the installs. I really do not understand the attitude of why... Then you ased about the 250 GB. Well, I have the complete packman, openSUSE and sync daily my 250 GB GB SUSE stuff. So this attitude really upsets me. There are those of us who attempt to make a living spreading the word and do infact have the complete available download. I was doing it on my 1.5/1.o link. I was really glad when I finally got a 4.0 MD download DSL. Currently I have both DSK and Cable to be able to get everything in a more timely fashion. Some of use can not afford large downloads. We never know what our clients are going to nedd. So having it all makes our lives a lot easier. -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb@zenez.com> 801 849-0213 ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
