Nice if you have a Cable/DSL modem :)
which is all network.img will set up :(
FreeBSD & Debian (& maybe others I haven't tried) give you the option to
set up ppp & dload a minimal install - which would be nice for Mandrake
& would only take an extra floppy to set up (if that).
As it is, I have been getting 7.2 for 14 1/2 hours with WS_FTP LE in
Wiindows, & I am up to "E" in /RPM's.....
WS_FTP LE is great, I had a power outage last night & it checked all the
files I had already got, updated the ones that had changed, left the
ones that hadn't & continued on without any hassles....
Now in about 40 hours from now I will be able to tell you if it worked
O.K.......
