The correction took 2 to 3 minutes. What mirror did you use? I suppose you can't effectively rsync two different iso images (say from version 3.1 to 3.2). My problem is that I can't find a mirror where the ISO image stays put for at least two weeks. Take for example planetmirror.com. I was merrily downloading KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-03-21b-EN.iso (165 MB) when the available version was upgraded to KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-03-28-EN.iso. Can I use the 165 MB of KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-03-21b-EN.iso I already downloaded as the resuming point for downloading KNOPPIX_V3.2-2003-03-28-EN.iso? I've had much better luck downloading the 3 CD set of Redhat 8.0, a more humongous download but one that I had confidence of restarting each night for the month or so it took to fully download them. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
