FTP Installs of 7.1 on Intel
Anyone accomplished a full 7.1 by ftp of 800+ packages ? I decided to choose everything I wanted rather than a minimal, and it looks like it may 24Hrs + to accomplish even with 256K xDSL. /Dee

He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (NIV)
Your DSL speed doesn't matter. Single ftp connection to suse.com is limited to 128 kbits/sec. -Kastus On Tue, Apr 03, 2001 at 07:57:22PM -0800, W.D.McKinney wrote:
