Larsen, AKA K5DI > Linux User > #450462 http://counter.li.org. I'm on dialup with a serial modem. Someone kindly sent me a set of cd iso's for FC6, but the F7 cd iso's took about 10 days to download, although I was listening to Internet radio also, so bandwidth was a bit restricted for the downloads. Thankfully I'm very patient, and as far as I'm concerned, it takes as long as it takes for a download. I'll have to psych myself up a bit before going for F8, as another 10 days of downloading isn't much fun. Just a bit of rambling on. Nigel.
