Interesting, I'm now inprocess of downloading the Knoppix iso using ncftp. I expect it will take several days to complete at ~3 kB/sec. I'd still prefer to use jigdo I think where that is available. Especially when the job is a version upgrade with a low % of the files changed. Regards Bob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
