Paxx Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) I go on the ftp, and i downloaded pretty much everything... (this is for hard drive install). But theres a folder called RPMS and its 2.8 gigs... do I have to download that? Can someone tell me all the folders i need to download? thanks, paxx Edited August 10, 2004 by Paxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlanK Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi, The 3 basic ISOs which are Mandrake10...CD1.i586.iso, Mandrake10...CD2.i586.iso, and Mandrake10...CD3.i586.iso would be enough. RPMS are so called extras and whether or not to d/l... it depends on ur preference. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxx Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Thanks a lot. What exactly do these extras do? Paxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxx Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 oh, nm i know what they do... I can pick out which ones i want right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzatch Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Correct. Its also good to have just incase you can't get the internet running and you need something off of one of the disks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxx Posted August 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) Right now im just using SmartFTP to download, and the server keeps dropping the connection.. is there any way that I can download it using a download manager like Download accelerator plus? It doesnt let me download a directory... Edited August 10, 2004 by Paxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echylo Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 (edited) well I advise to use, filezilla, and I don't think you can download a directory :), but I think for now the important thing is to download the three iso's and welcome aboard ;) Edited August 10, 2004 by Echylo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxx Posted August 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Thanks, i'll check out filezilla :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 If your running KDE... kget seems to do the job if you want to snag files from using konq. (not sure about directories tho) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Or from console prozilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
