RE: [newbie] FTP Sites
I would guess that this guy is using either a 33.6 or 56k modem and as such I still stand by my advice to go and buy a CheapBytes or whoever's disk of Mandrake 7.02. Cheers: Michael Perry. RD. Dep.

If you have the bandwith on your end, ftp.ndlug.nd.edu (The Notre Dame Linux Users Group) is pretty decent, I've never seen it mentioned as a mirror, just happened to find it through a friend. I do all my installs incedently from techhouse.brown.edu. I love those Ivy League kids across town. :-) Downloads are good and fast, I've even done full ftp installs from there. You also might try www.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html. A lot of RedHat mirrors also have Mandrake.

Better to order a $1.99 CD from Cheapbytes. I live in Israel and even so the total cost including postage/transport was only $10 and it arrived in 1 week. It would cost me more to download it and probably take the same time :-( They are selling the 7.02 version now. Cheers: Michael Perry. RD. Dep. Netafim Magal.

Or, if you know a friend with a high speed connection (cable/DSL) and a burner, do that. But dwnlding yourself over a 56k connection will take forever.

RE: RE: [newbie] FTP Sites
I have never noticed any great advantages in phone support. If it is software problems you should be able to fix em your self. Hardware problems that are under warranty, well I just call the computershop to let them know I am coming, and what hardware to have availible for me to replace. I do it on the spot, save them time and effort and save me the problems incured after some 14y/o pokes around the intimates of my computer.. Rant mode off I should cut back on coffee I think..

Re: RE: [newbie] FTP Sites
It doesn't take forever, actually about 30 hours. I did it from tucows using a program called getright for windows (very nicely written program!), and I believe that gFTP under Linux could accomplish the same task. It's not the downloading part that's the problem, it's the disconnecting to use the phone, then reconnecting and picking up where you left off - that's where getright comes in handy.
