I think Franki's explanation is the correct one. It's an Australian ISP only server. No matter what method I try it always times out trying to connect. I only took a shot for curiosity since I don't need the ISOs. I have the complete cooker, 9.1 and 9.2 trees locally, plus this box will get "re-cooked" as soon as I finish assembling the new one. BTW; I seem able to initialize an ftp install from uninett.no using the latest network image as of 11 minutes ago. I stopped at the point where I would have to begin partitioning the drive/format partitions/select packages though so I don't know if it will go all the way through. Do you have the disk space to mirror the 9.2 tree locally? 2.4 GB for main, 2.6 GB for contrib if you skip jpackage and SRPMS. If so you'll be a hell of a lot better off, since the network install will error out every time the mirror you connect to rsyncs to the main Mandrake server. That would assume the mirror will be re-synchronized which I'm unsure of, but there were updated files twice recently in the 9.2 tree. Once for kernels (in contrib only I think) and this last one I noticed this morning. Plus the total time (rsync and then hd install) is less usually than any network install over a less than gigabit interface. Just a suggestion.
