Do you need to have enough space on the linux partition to hold all of the
iso files? I noticed that the script was making these compressed images in
/tmp. As I said, I put the linux file downloads in a windows partition
since linux can read windows but not the other way around. We just got DSL
here and so far only one laptop is connected to it and it's not networked.
I have to download on that computer, then attach it to another computer and
transfer the files to it since the laptop doesn't have a CD burner.
