A tangent on this - having heard of Knoppix's good reputation, I've tried to get an iso of this from a few sources, and using all manner of different sources and transfer methods and tools, I get a certain distance along, and then it stops, and will not continue. How far I get depends on the iso, but it stops at the same spot on all systems and methods. I haven't seen any reasons in logs or networking manuals, but this is frustrating - I'm burning bandwidth of many not-for-profit servers with no success, and not reaching 20% of the iso as a rule. Given that most other iso downloads (such as for the 7 Debian 3.0 CDs) has been fine, and I'm using DSL and pppoe, is there somehing that I should be looking for in terms of bad configuration? -- Mark L.
