thats the trouble i was at root when the download started and i cannt
find any files, by name, by size anywhere from root on down
got me
its downloading from ftp://mirror.pacific.net.au/???????
so it should of created a folder called mirror.pacific.net.au
would this be correct?
but its still not there either.
it still downloading madly, i just hope its saving them somewhere
its actually all the files to make and iso from
havent found a repository for 64bit man 10.1
thanks
david
