If that's the case you could make a directory on your hard disk and download
the entire tree onto your local drive. Yes...thats correct I said the entire
tree. For the install at least you will need to the entire tree from the FTP
site. I would think that would include everything under the 7.2 distribution
directory depending upon which FTP server you're connecting to for this
bohemuth of a task. And it IS a big one. All the more reason that you might
want to consider ordering the CD's from some place like Cheapbytes. $3.99US
for both CD's and no worries.
But, if downloading 1.2GB of data is what you're into, then by all
means...have at it.
