Hey all -- Am reading through http://sourceforge.net/projects/filezilla as these messages came in. Going on third recommendation for this : > Freebsd installer guide. www.a1poweruser.com THANKS! I have it already ! ;-) Downloaded & ready to read off-line for the next couple of days. Have also grokked through ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/doc/en/ for articles & handbook.=20 Sketching out install strategy for multi-boot systems .. .but will post those as separate questions as I formulate them. Using postal mail to Latvia isn't a tech problem ... it's a small cost and time nightmare. If there was something I really wanted or need mailed, sure, but the economics here are near first-world prices at third-world wages, so throwing money away is not a good survival strategy. And, waiting around three or four weeks for mail to arrive (maybe even unmolested by the postal workers) just isn't time effective. Current update is that I seem to be connecting via ftp .. it looks like I was leaving a trailing slash on the URL as pasted from the web browser. Have now established ftp connections to a couple of mirrors & ready to go with the one w/ best speed; looks like 30 Kbits/sec is max for the region. FileZilla looks like the way to go. If I don't have my ISO's within 15 or 18 hours, I'll ask again. Just now getting FileZilla DL'd & installed & learning the interface enough to get it going with the resume feature active. Sorry, but got side-tracked by the London bombings today. Got a couple of friends working there I'm trying to get ahold of. No joy yet. I know the odds are in their favor ... but I also lost an acquaintance in the WTC on 9/11, so I'm a bit distracted. Tech is fun & career, but that's 2ndary to friends. Thanks all for jumping in to help out ! Hopefully I'll be a contributing member before too much longer. More serious questions regarding multi-boot systems and dual-processor kernal configuration are about to follow. Trust me on that ... ;-) -- datora serfing the stream electric
