Hello,

For my modem-connected machine it is a ginormous
download, some 500 Meg...

Will I, or some kind of disconnnect at the ISP, ruin
the whole thing?  Can I then issue the command again
and will it recognize the packcages it already got?

Will it check these downloads for errors with an md5
or something?

Is this just a bad idea to try over a modem
connection?

ejd
