Potato to Woody upgrading method
Hi! I'm considering to upgrade my Potato system to Woody. I don't have Woody CD set yet. The question is whether I upgrade my system through the internet or buy it on CD. I've got a 56K/s minutepayed modem connection only. How much data do I have to download during the upgrade process (an average potato system)?

You can use your existing W98 partition if you have, or WMWare makes a complete filesystem into one large file. --Tibi -.Sig e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
