Do you have network cards in both machines ? Can you use the faster computer as a proxy ? Alternatively, pre-burnt CDs are available pretty cheaply, from about $5 to $20 depending on where you get them from and how many packages you want in the bundle - the full distribution is about 7 CDs now, iirc. Whether or not you think this is worth it depends on how much your time is worth to you, but it's another option you might consider: http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/ - Derek > > Am I making sense? > I hope so. > Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
