You seem to miss the point, or so I understand it. I want to download
the distribution on a DIFFERENT computer, burn a installation CD, and
install it on my old computer. The old computer doesn't have a modem
worth speaking of, as it has an external 26K modem, which I don't think
would be very good for this, unless I used it to download the base
system and then get all the other stuff with my faster computer.
Am I making sense?
I hope so.
Thanks
