I would like to add support for that request. I lack a fast internet connection
and rely on a friend to download the big stuff (I can handle the updtaes fine
on my own if I keep up with them.) . However, he is behind a _highly_
restricted firewall and can only download via http, not ftp, so a single iso file
is easy, multiple files in multiple directories are not. He cannot get ftp access.
Even if the iso is larger than "normal", overburning and 80 minute CD's are
becoming more common, although I have no doubt that one day Mandrake will
be the first distro to need to be released on DVD.
BTW, I noticed that the boot image files have a newer date on them than cooker.
Is there a change other than a date? (Might help with my install problem re: mouse?)
Keep up the good work and soon the world (or at least the important part of
the world) will know that Mandrake is _not_ "RedHat plus some stuff".
