I have an aversion to using anything that comes from unknown sources, as used by Torrent.
Can we also challenge this "torrents are untrustworthy" attitude.
Having, successfully so far, resisted/repelled several devious attacks from the Russians, I am keen to maintain a clean, and thus secure, system as possible.
You can be given an ISO from a shady character under a railway bridge,
I'd throw it away unused. Do not want the associated risks.
Also, why not just make your life easy and do a netinstall?
That's a good idea. Never done one of them before. I can put C6 on a CD and a USB and boot from either.
That way you don't have to try to do anything you're not comfortable with.
Comfort-ability is not my criteria. The BIOS is supposed to be 4 or 5 years old. It won't boot from DVDs, yet it will boot from zip disks and other historic relics (LH120, I think one of the other choices was).
Have a nice day.
Thank you.
