Very Computer

So I decided to grab it again, with a more reliable FTP prog.
Got it all in one go.  But it was the same size as the bad one.
Also would not mount.  Tried a third time, and it RESUMED?
Tacked on another 150MB that was missing?

Went back to the directory, sure enough, now the file was nearer 650MB,
yet the 'modified' date still read Oct. 31.

After it finished, the image mounted, and I burned it to CD.

First tried YUP to update my existing 2.0.
No dice, got errors the moment it tried to start updating.
So I thought, no big deal, Im not too attached to this 2.0 install.
Havent had it more than a week.  Dumped it, and tried to install 2.1 on a
fresh partition.

No dice.  Installation fails the moment it tries to start installing the
packages. (no reason, just says 'unable to install packages'  *grrr*

Reinstalled 2.0 today on that partition, no problems...

Any clues?

Yellow Dog is clearly having some problems either with their CD build
process or with their ftp server.

Interestingly, if you look at their list of Mirror sites (and navigate
to the ISO directory, since all of the mirrors listed go to the 2.0
directories), the images vary in size there, too, but they all approach
a useful size of around 600MB.

I guess they really want you to cough up the cash to have a CD shipped
to you. Oh, wait, I've heard that ship times are late November and
counting. Oh well... there's still Mandrake... ;-)

I can get to all the RPMs manually, but YUP -hates- it.

Ill try again tonight, and post the error that YUP spits out.

Its at 180+MB now... i guess Ill just wait a bit longer for
it to settle down.

I tried Mandrake, but its X11 installer HATES my Voodoo3.
And nothing I did could make it install in text mode. :/
