So how does one in all practicle terms do this on a 56kdialup modem.
By the time I've downloaded 3 iso's , done the md5sum's, written the iso's to disc, tested the discs to be faithful reproductions, installed OS, done a minimum of half a day's post install reconfiguring, to get it up and running, and then probably a week's fiddling around in all the apps looking for faults to report , mandrake have gone on to bets2 or beta3 releases.

expert list) about how to do this. basically it involves getting setup
and updating only as cooker is updated, and not re-downloading the
complete ISOs, just sucking down the changes. Search the archives for
"cooker update" ought to help
slap in a repeat of my already configured and pretty well running M9.1
using a drive image programme.
write a stanza to boot it.
and then urpmi that as far as possible, which would have to be done at night as It's the only chance I have to get about 2 hours uniterrupted install.
or ,
download the 3 iso cd's and burn to disks and install etc. and then urpmi this install.
from my point of view the first option is quicker.
