Much as I hate subject lines full of exclamation marks, I feel this
warrants it!
When I used the *unregistered* version of deltanet, I was able to
generate full logging messages, and it was only then that I found that
the installer was expecting the files to be in
<specified>/RedHat/base/*
I had not realised about the RedHat bit...
I managed to get as far as it moaning about not finding files, rather
than hanging before transferring anything. More useful error messages
on the client side might have been be helpful though... :-)
Now, the hard bit. Either I download all the packages from the
internet over a 28K modem, someone releases a CD (in which case
all this will be academic anyway) or I find some other way of
getting the files...
I was wondering if anyone with a fast connection would mind copying
them onto a few zip discs for me? They are only 100Mb each, so
one would not be enough. Does any kind soul have a zip drive and
a fast internet connection? Obviously I'll pay full postage costs
