I could , but that would involve using another department.    Our cd burner is so old 
that it runs on win3.11!  ;)  Like I said, I have never had a problemdoing this with 
anyother distribution (MD6.1 RH6.1 OBSD...) so I was wondering if there was something 
wrong with the ftp sites.

Thanks!

Why not download the ISO and make a CD instead?  That might solve a lot of
problems...if it's an option.

Subject: [Cooker] problems downloading


Is everyone having problems downloading the oxygen or is it just me.  I
have probably tried to download the dist 100 times since Thursday with 4
different ftp sites.  I keep getting errors and it downloads some files
and then it deletes (unlinks) other files...

Whenever it tells me that there are no more files to download then I try
a network install.  I can get as far as the second stage and then it
craps out and tells me it is unmounting everything and rebooting.  I can
download the second stage.

I am using mirror, I have not had a problem with it before.  Here is my
configuration file:

package=mirror
        comment=The Mirror Package
        #site=rpmfind.net
        site=ftp.sunet.se
        #site=csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu
        #site=sunsite.uio.no
    passive_ftp=true
        remote_user=anonymous

        #remote_dir=/linux/MandrakeCooker/oxygen/
        remote_dir=pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/oxygen/
        #remote_dir=pub/mandrake/oxygen/
        #remote_dir=pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake-devel/oxygen/
        # This setting of local_dir is suitable for Un*x
        local_dir=/mirror/mandrake/oxygen

Any helpful hints would be appreciated!  TIA!!

Jeremy
