Hm, if you can connect to the cheap account with PPP then use APT, it has very good resume capabilities if you are using HTTP, I'm told FTP works pretty well too.. What you'd do is edit /etc/apt/sources.list and point it at your mirror then run apt-get update apt-get -fd dist-upgrade After (several :>) days of this you will have all the needed files in /var/cache/apt/archives. Remove -d and it will install them for you (in the proper order, etc) and you'll be done. Jason -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
