I need three of the six isos currently to do a reasonable installation. It would follow that that's ~1.8GB instead of the ~3gb that it would be if the srpms were on the same disk. What I'd really like to see is a more robust ftp/http install that can take advantage of multiple mirrors instead of stalling or failing if the server you're using slows down, fails, has a corrupt or missing file etc. on the network our mirror is connected to, http installs are typically faster than local media. joelja > -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joel Jaeggli Unix Consulting joelja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx GPG Key Fingerprint: 5C6E 0104 BAF0 40B0 5BD3 C38B F000 35AB B67F 56B2
