I am using jigdo to get the 4 - 6 ISO images.. if there's a better (smaller / faster to download) method, I'd love to hear about it. I really would like to get to know Debian as I'm a Slackware man and have had to use RedHat at work.. Debian would be another nice addition to my Linux skillset. > By the way, which mopd are you using? There are several of them around, > some quite unuseable... Umm.. 2.5.3. I downloaded one from linux-mips.org, and applied all the patches in the order listed in the spec file, but it doesn't compile. So I compiled another 2.5.3 (79k as opposed to the 48k tgz file I got from linux-mips.org) and it compiles and responds, but still no file transfer. (I am compiling/running on i386 arch, so I am wondering if all those patches are necessary...) I've read that MOP images usually have some special header in them (NetBSD website) and someone mentioned that mopd-linux will fudge those headers if the kernel doesn't have them... or something... I am perservering with it, and will eventually get there... but for now, I just thought someone might have more of a clue than I do. Thanks, Collin Baillie
