I mirrored it the first time and I've left it trying to mirror each night. Apologies if I should have let you know in advance but I was eager to try it. Unfortunately, recent mirror don't seem to have succeeded due to timeouts or failed connections but I'll try running it manually. For those who are interested, the mirror is ftp://ftp.ox.ac.uk/pub/linux/ultralinux A suggestion for improving the installation: at the moment it seems to demand a swap partition. That's a nuisance since I only wanted to put Linux on one partition on this box and I had to wipe out a 0.5GB Solaris partition just to satisfy the install program's swap craving. It would be nice if it could be made optional. Congratulations on pulling everything together and getting it to the stage where it's pretty much a straightforward install. --Malcolm -- Malcolm Beattie Unix Systems Programmer Oxford University Computing Services
