Yes, but I always do a new install on a separate partition and tweak it to my needs. Then I declare that as my "working system" and move the data and clean out the old working partition to be ready for the next version. But concerning the download problems I ran into another problem. gftp downloaded the CD1 iso until about 100k to the end, then stopped. Just crashed with CPU running at 99.8% and my mail proggy told me that there's no space left on my partition to write incoming mails! I moved my /home to a spare partition and restarted the PC. Started gftp and as soon as I connected to the ftp server cpu went up to 98%. I looked at the logs and gftp showed a cache of 1.2GB. Which was the reason my home partition was full! Now gftp-log shows "Error: Unvalid line in cache index file" Logfile is growing by the second! WTF! wobo -- "... and anyway, html can't carry a virus."
