You seem to miss the point, or so I understand it. I want to download the distribution on a DIFFERENT computer, burn a installation CD, and install it on my old computer. The old computer doesn't have a modem worth speaking of, as it has an external 26K modem, which I don't think would be very good for this, unless I used it to download the base system and then get all the other stuff with my faster computer. Am I making sense? I hope so. Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
