If you have a supported ethernet card, the download program on the floppy is good at redialing and starting where it left off. Apparently Netscape is not particularly good at this (at least when talking to our web server). You might try a different browser (Opera or IE5 under Windows) and see if that helps, at least with the restartability. Russ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

There's also the need to go to the Web site to generate the boot disk. You could then issue a password for non-anonymous ftp, but I'm downloading from http://www.getright.com/get.html at this very moment. -- TTom/ My current neighborhood: http://www.coldspringpark.org My next neighborhood: http://www.geocities.com/athens/acropolis/9361 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Are there any ftp sites where I could get it? For me, at least, ftp runs faster and more reliably than a browser download. -- TTom/ My current neighborhood: http://www.coldspringpark.org My next neighborhood: http://www.geocities.com/athens/acropolis/9361 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

If your target host for the installation has a supported network configuration, all you need to download is the 1.44MB floppy; during installation you can obtain the rest via the Internet, and that method also knows how to resume disrupted downloads. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

I tried it under both Linux and Solaris with the same result. Is the problem on server side (too many connections..) or my side? Any pointers? - ishwar ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
