Or download the 6.2 iso image file through 56k modem (only if ur very
patient). It took me 4 overnights to download. If I run straight 2
days with good transfer rate, it'll be done. I did that and got it free
except costed me a cd to burn. :) I also did with 7.0 and Wolverine.
Works as well. Don't get me wrong. It's only a suggestion IF you are
VERY PATIENT, and NOT in a hurry. :)
