For those that have downloaded 9.0 via ftp..how long does it usually take? Varies I know depending upon size of course... Is there a particular mirror better than the rest, (yeah I know, the closest one to me)...I should not try from the main SUSE site I've been told, true or not ? I'm hip to watching not only the speeds, but the data loss as well in picking a mirror.. Any other things I should be aware of ? Thank you all very much for your time. Lee

~ maybe, speed has something to do ? { think there are about 3-1/2 Gig . . . gonna take me 3 weeks } . . . as to mirrors, this is what Snr. Valor was so kind as to say :- ...................... #!/bin/sh # This script is to download SuSE 9.0 FTP version # # (c) G. Ballester Valor, 2003. # # (GPL licensed) # # Use it as your own risk # # UNC0MMENT ONLY ONE LINE, depending on your mirror selection: # (by default is set ftp.mirror.ac.uk) # # Usage: # 1) put the script in the directory where you want to place the SuSE tree # 2) exec the script # get_suse90 # 3) SuSE will be placed in 'i386/9.0/...' directory. # # NOTE, you can interrupt. Next time It will begin where it left the work. # _BE_PATIENT_, it has to download about 3.6 Gbytes. # # Thanks to SuSE to make available this superb release. # # This script WILL NOT DOWNLOAD source rpms to save space. If you want # to download also these files you have to supress ' -R "*.src.rpm" ' from # the commanline # # If you want that your download don't get blocked your small banwidth line, # you can add the option '--limit-rate=NUM_KBPS' before 'ftp:' were NUM_KBPS # is the max KiloBytes per second you want to download.

Took us 5 days in Spain from ftp.solnet.ch for the full 7Gb using our adsl router. You don't get the full distro.

Thanx alot Steve, ADSL setup here as well, I see I'm not too far off in the speed zone, I'm aware I won't get the full distro, due to licensing(sp) issues..JRE for one, so that will be my 1st stop upon successful install..

I "mirrored" the complete 9.0 including sources via a nice lill script i picked from this list: #!/bin/sh # This script is to download SuSE 9.0 FTP version wget -t 0 -m -nH -c --cut-dirs=5 -R "*.src.rpm" ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/suse/suse/i386/9.0/* I did this over my ADSL 8000 line.. 800 kb up 8000 kb down. The whole shabang took some 216 minutes or so... So if you have a very fast line its no problem. I DID get SuSE 8.2 over a 512 K line.. THAT took little over two days.. So the bandwidth is crucial... If you have the opportunity.. Get the box!
