Fred, I'm sure there would be a kind soul who would willing to make you a copy, AND NOT CHARGE YOU FOR IT, rather than have to see you go through the pain of downloading the sucker over a modem. I would gladly make you a copy of mine, but it's not due here for a few more days and I'll be on vacation all of next week. Perhaps if you can wait, I'll help you out. :-) Just my $.02 </Jared> On Wed, 2003-04-30 at 17:58, Fred Sloniker wrote:
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? -- "Turd Ferguson.
