Hi Steve I always just downloaded CD 1 (as there is no minimal boot CD) and started the setup with the parameter "install=ftp://your.preferred.mirror/mirror/opensuse/SL-10.0-OSS-beta3/inst-source";. Then you will get the net install where every single RPM you will install is downloaded, not the whole ISOs. Daniel PS ftp://mirror.switch.ch/mirror/opensuse has always been very fast. It always delivered at 2 MBit/s which is actually the limit on my side. Perhaps we could balance the load manually and relieve gwdg.de. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
