Hello Phil, Thanks for the reply & your suggestion. I already installed zsync & read the man page (writing this mail offline). Just two question though:
1) how different is it from wget in regard of updating a previous download ? 2) (currently having 10.04 & 11.04 discs from a popular linux magazine), how can I use this disc ? 3) do I use the file as an .ISO ? or should it be extracted ? thanks for the help On 09/15/2011 11:11 PM, Phill Whiteside wrote: > Hi Bob, > > thanks for the interest you have shown in assisting.
