323.8MB is big on a 5k connection that needs to be reconnected every 2 hours (fortunately my download manager will auto reconnect), its going to take more than a day.

How easy is it to do an upgrade installation?




Do notice this is only Release Candidate 1.

Luckily, most buggy parts can already be updated, see: http://vectorlinux.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3191

As for the upgrade, I recommend a fresh install since it's using Linux 2.6 (and do update the few bugs).

Total: 218.46, I have 224MB of system memory, so what's happened to the last 5.54MB?

I figured it out now...that missing bit is being used by the kernel and its modules.
