Hiya,

Reading a lot of dramatic stories of people on 56k modems downloading
the iso images. After days of downloading they have nothing but a
broken image. And they were so enthousiatic by all the good news on
the site.

Now my proposal. It is 2-fold.

1) lets make a mini-install-image that installs nothing else but base.

After the install you can install any other package with urpmi. Done
this with a friend and ... I liked it that way.

2) Lets use the usenet cd-image distribution way ( on ftp of course )

* Split the image in multiple rar archives.
* Add a few parity archives with them.

This is a very tested way to move tons of data over unreliable lines.


Cya, Han.
