Re: modem FTP Installation of Linux

[Tom Cooper <tom_cooper bigfoot com>]

NO NO NO!!
The installation is in the order of hundreds of Magabytes.  Downloading
over a 56K modem is not wise.
I'd highly recommend cheapbytes:
http://cart.cheapbytes.com/cgi-bin/cart/0070010421?xDS8ycEK;;41
for less than $10, you can have a CD at home to use for your installation.

Hope this helps!

Tom Cooper
