thanks for the offer ! i could recently complete a sarge installation over my narrow bandwidth. it took an weekend to complete the whole. same didn't work with the SuSe mirrors ( i have tried three of them after considering the hops carefully ) during a whole week. i have all the woody cds and the fc1. hope to finish the fc2 downloads in a couple of weeks. i don't know many with lot of spare bandwidth excepting the ISPs and some academia. any way my point was to indicate to a possible method of SuSe 9.1 installation without paying Novell. i don't think Novell would be happy to know that its commercial cds are copied and distrubuted in a lug. -hizibiz > -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the body "unsubscribe ilug-cal" and an empty subject line.
