My mistake. I figured that with you trying to get the modem working, that you had to connect with Windows. Getting an OS installed on a laptop is always a chalange, unless you are using a restore setup that came with the laptop. Even installing Windows on a laptop usualy involves drivers from the Internet.
Thanks Mikkel, Konqueror also allows me to resume, but when the mirror site doesn't drop me off, then my ISP runs out of the time it allows me to remain connected, so its a drop off, resume. drop off, resume, reconnect, drop off, resume ad infinitum, then can't connect to the mirror or something similar then sometime later, try again, resume, drop off.
I hope to have, from the same friend that I have 9.2, Mandrake 10 in
my hand soon and hope the kernel source is on that DVD or CD, and
then all will be well???? I have never had any problems with Linux,
three CD's are all I have ever got in the past, and then download
smaller apps from the net [ drop off, resume, etc.. ] but never
exposed a lappy to Linux before. The first time that I could ever
afford one, other than the first machine ever owned some 8 years ago,
never even heard of Linux then. Windows 3.1 was the thing. 3 floppys
to install it, what great wonder and joy. There is always something to learn when you live in the third world part of a first world
country. There are others less fortunate though so I don't want to
complain, other than to our government who is after all responsible
for the situation we live in. But the population in the bush is to
small to make an impact.

On the four laptops I have played with, installing Linux has better then installing Windows... Winmodems are a problem with both OSs, unless you have the drivers...
In any case, good luck with 10.0. I need to spring for the CDs, or hijace someones internet connection to download them.
