| 151215 | 2003-06-09 06:46:00 | Also FTP means: File Transfer Protocol, which is how you download the files. | stu140103 (137) | ||
| 151216 | 2003-06-09 06:55:00 | Even with an ADSL connection it takes nearly 2 days. I doubt if it could be done with dialup. Probably take about a week. Splash out $25.00 and get the 3 CD set from www.xsolutions.co.nz | i-gordon (962) | ||
| 151217 | 2003-06-09 07:59:00 | You will find you will most likely need to burn to CD anyway, due to the fact that installation occurs out of an ISO - when burnt to a CD (properly) the ISO package is expanded and burnt to the CD. Think of it like a zip file - when you burn the file, it get's unzipped... There are limited installation methods as well for Linux - FTP Server (you'll need another machine on your network running an FTP Server for Linux to install from), CD or.. there is another one... I can guarantee it... Also Linux is a completely new system and therefore has it's own setup - You will not be able to install Linux from within Windows - which is why when you reboot your machine, it is installed then - as no other Operating System is running. Anyway, to cut a long story short, you would be better saving both bandwidth and CD's and just spend $20 to get a copy CyberChuck |
