I think thats it, the PPC is for PPC based processors and i588 for Pentium based processors, can someone confirm that?

Uh PPC= Power PC = Macintosh. I586 = Intel Pentium 1 and above... BUT DOES NOT EXCLUDE AMD. The AMD and Intel are both based on the x86 architecture. For an AMD cpu download the x86 version. :/ Hope that helps

IMHO don't donwload anything... just do the Network install off of a mirror... that way you only d/l the packages you select. Saves time and bandwidth.

Err... you mean the network install? With a 56k i can see you having problems downloading linux either way. :/ (you'd probably be better off buying a Distro from your local computer store)
But in case you were wondering find and download the Bootnet.img file for your specific distro (Mandrake, Redhat, Suse etc...). Then rawrite it to a disk. I do see you having problems finding the appropriate modem drivers though. ERr... Tstorm outside... no surge protection.... will be back with full instructions later. SRY |
