If, instead, you wish to do an installation, you will need to download the tarballs, either apriori or while online. With the slow link, I'm not sure that you will be able to do the install online within your time limit. If you choose to go the source route, remember that the source is at least 28Meg COMPRESSED. However, if you use either sup or ctm, you can start accumulating the source. The changes that happen from today's source to the release source will not be extensive. If you have the 2.1.0 release CD, you might consider ctm rather than sup. By using ctm and the cd, you can eliminate perhaps 15Meg or more of download. -- Richard Wackerbarth rkw@dataplex.net
