Vince, go to www.shareware.com and find an appropriate ftp utility that
allows you to continue where you were cutoff. Also, because you are a
student, I think you can find somewhere in the school to use higher
bandwidth other than dial up speeds...The ISO image is something like 1.2GB
because it is an ISO image of 2 CD Roms. My favorite tool for downloading
is called ftpPRO. There is a Linux version as well (although not free under
Linux either, but pretty good at it's job and I think stable enought to be
worth the $40.00US).
Best of luck! Also, keep reading this mailing list because there are some
really smart people about installs here!
