It will take a **very** long time, and if your modem drops out you will have to start again.
You are best off getting CDs locally. Its perfectly legal. MandrakeSoft are fully committed to providing a totally GPL distro with free access to ISO's and the RPM tree. The only RPMs not included in the free download edition are things like Nvidia drivers, Acrobat, Flash, RealPlayer etc, and they can all be downloaded from the vendors web sites anyway. BTW: I think Novell have changed Suse's policy and are now offering downloadable ISO's. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
