I hope you have a cd burner. if not you will have to download in pieces. unless you have a dsl or t1 line, this will take forever. even to download the .iso files over a phone line will take about 12 hours maybe more, but, there are only three big files. really you only need install.iso to get linux up and running. hope this helps. -- Bill Gaughan wgaughan@snet.net On 3 Dec 2001, Bernard Condorcet wrote: > Hi, I am Bernard Condorcet and live in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). > > I work in the technical support area of a Brazilian system (DOSVOX) > in a federal university.
