Looks like with the k_athlon kernel update, it's 54MB. On dialup, I might be able to get it all between the time I went to sleep and when I wake up. As for the kernel source, at 180MB +/-, there's just no way I can do it.
That's big... that much, even compressed? Isn't there a patch.rpm instead that you can use? The last one I downloaded (suse 8.1) was kernel-source-2.4.19.SuSE-115.i586.patch.rpm, with 5.6Mb "only" (and 13 Mb the k_deflt...patch.rpm). I also use dial up. What I do is that I download in smaller chunks, say, half an hour at a time. I connect, start the download, and simultaneously browse, get email, whatever I needed to do. After, say, half an hour, I disconnect. Next time (same or different day) I get another chunk of it. Slow, but I get it on the end. I would like a script to stop the ftp after a certain time or size lime automaticalyy, though. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
