what kind of bandwidth do I save with the pseudo-image-kit ?
Just download the iso with a ftp client witch can resume and your done.
Do I miss something ?
Anyway
A nice way IMO ist the following:
Download the right 2.88 mb boot-floppy image and base2_2.tgz (~50mb)
from somemirror.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current
Burn a CD with the floppy-image as boot-image and the base2_2.tgz
as a regular file on the CD.
Boot from the CD install the basesystem from the CD.
This gives you a running linuxsystem where you can mess around with the
usual tools to make your modem/lan working if they don't do already.
by 'installer-magic' .
Configure apt to use your pref. mirror and anything additional to this
starter-kit-linux is now just
apt-get install
away.
(If you don't intend to keep it slim use dselect ;)
I'd say *this* saves bandwidth
just to give some ideas
pascal
Ps: perfekt way to jump right to testing as well
