i'm only using pine,lynx,ircII and the base utils,i dont use X for now,my machine is only used in reading document and doing research about car/engine modification and some other topic,and my modem (33.6) can do 12 megabytes/hour when the wind's right and my ISP unplug the time counter between midnight and 8 o'clock (am),so does this will take a long time to do the ftp install ??? 2-: for the CD,is there anyone here who can say how long the delivery take when sending some to Canada (Quebec especially),it may sound a dumb question but usually,all the thing i see at the TV and mag. say that i need to allocate 4 to 6 week for the delivery ?? -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
