<shrug> Then you should use the pseudo-image kit, which downloads stuff and generates official CD images, but without trying to grab the entire disk image in one burst and putting a lot of load on the CD image mirrors. Look at http://cdimage.debian.org/. (How it works, roughly: you download a list of files and packages that go on the CD. The script downloads those packages and cats them together into something looking more-or-less like a CD image. Then you use rsync, which is relatively low-bandwidth, to convert that image into an Official Debian CD Image. But the bulk of the traffic is to your local Debian mirror, which makes life easier on the comparatively few places that carry the ISO9660 images.) -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mit.edu/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
