Ok, I may have botched that one. I have been routinely using the fedora
Live-cd's to install from. Wildblue is a satellite system and I only
get 17 gig's/30 days and I spread that among four other members of the
household.
I will have to look further, there were some options on the opening
screen that I ignored. Else my NFS server will just have to live with
Fedora and it's turnover.
And yes I have bought a number of CD's but downloading stuff gets it
right now when I need it.
Thanks for the response.
Bob
