Hello Phil,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the reply & your suggestion. I already installed
zsync & read the man page (writing this mail offline). Just two
question though:<br>
<br>
1) how different is it from wget in regard of updating a previous
download ?<br>
2) (currently having 10.04 & 11.04 discs from a popular linux
magazine), how can I use this disc ?<br>
3) do I use the file as an .ISO ? or should it be extracted ?<br>
<br>
thanks for the help<br>
<br>

<div>thanks for the interest you have shown in assisting. The good
news is that there is a method to keep your images up to date
without need to download a completely fresh iso each time. It is
covered at

<br>
I'm Bob & have been using Ubuntu for the past several
years. Currently<br>
using 10.04 LTS & possibly waiting for 12.04 (LTS ?).<br>
<br>
As much as I'd like to be part of the laptop testing team,
the issue of<br>
downloading the iso is an obstacle. MY connection speed
& bandwidth is a<br>
DSL but is very limited; is there an alternative solution ?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
