Hold fire for a little bit, as that was the old ISO. The master server at 
StarDiv.de (<ftp://ftp.stardiv.de>) has been having some problems (they're 
changing ISP at present), so the new ISO has not yet been put up.

If you will send me a snail mail address, I'll send you the actual CDs by post 
(I'm in Ipswich, Queensland), then you won't need to download the ISOs (there 
are two of them).

And you won't either... Some drive/software combinations allow "over-burning", 
or putting more than the standard size on a CD. My Mandriva machine, coupled 
with a DVD/CD writer, actually burned tha old ISO without a murmur, hence the 
mistake with the one made available (I always do a trial burn first, mainly 
to ensure that it auto-runs the installer under Windows (my leas favourite 
OS, but I have a Win 98 and a Win ME box available for testing purposes, and 
for doing my tax online).
