If he's on a 28k dialup that might take a while... David I am actually using a 56K dial-up access. I printed the manual out and I read through. Getting the Floppys and the others. 1. But a funny problem I seem to have is identifying which of the FTP programs to use. 2. Do i download directly to the floppys or to my Windows machine before using fdimage to format. 3. Do I download the ISO images to the Windows machine before durning (as that would be better in case of an interruption during downloading.) I just learnt that I have to start the program from the DOS environment, which I will try now and give you a feedback. Thanks for responding to my questions. Please keep me posted.
