I hit enter and the install begins. It creates the file systems and starts to download the software. Everything looks great, then at about 200000k I loose connection to my ISP. Thi s is consistant. I tried it six times. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have searched the knowledge base and have come up empty I know you don't have a real operating system installed yet, but wrap your lines please :) Are you serious about the 200000K ? Didn't realize novice installed everything. At 200MB downloading at 28.8 you are probably hitting a hard session limit on your ISP's terminal servers. Check with them and see if they have this set. That is several hours of download isn't it?
