Running 9.1 on a Pentium II with 400mHz and having a very wacky dialup connection to the rest of the world. Updates and patches are a pain in the neck. I have problems to download patches, the latest KDE and newer kernels. My ISP is prepared to download stuff and burn it on a cd. I do want to try out there offer and see what they say if I ask for the latest kernel ;-). They need URL's and what files or directories I want. I know what I want: kernel (>2.6.8) Patches KDE 3.3 sane (latest) My problem starts if I want to give easy instructions what and where to download. They think to download such things during (our) night (Jakarta, Indonesia). Easiest would be details of an URL down to a directory. As I have seldom the possibility to surf the web in depth it would be great if somebody could give me some pointers in the right direction. How to find out the total Mb to be download? Anything to tell the folks how to burn the cd?
