Ron, I suggest that you make a phone call to a local university and ask for the computer science department. A university will almost always (I said almost :) have a decent connection to the internet. In addition, you can use a local mirror in Brisbane so that you don't have to download from overseas: ftp://ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/Mandrake/iso/ Assuming you can find someone who: a) will download it for you b) has already downloaded it You should have cd's in your hands in a single afternoon. If you ask nicely, someone will help you (not that you need technical assistance, you just need to connection and a means to burn CD's). Blue skies...
