SuSe 7.3 CD Image

[billy_gates]

Does anyone know where I can download an ISO/CD Image of SuSe 7.3? Ws_FTP is having many problems downloading indivudial files from any of the mirrors available, and ISO would help.

Sure, http://www.linuxiso.org and I think the best file grabber is "wget" (included with most Linux distros). I see there is even a Windows version of wget but I've never tried it under Windows. I notice you are probably using a Mac hopefully OSX. If so it may also come with wget, if not you should be able to download/compile the source. I like wget because it is easy to schedule large file downloads since it is a command line utility.  It can download files via FTP and via HTTP and has many options (can even suck down an entire web site with a single command).

Syntax for single file (such as an ISO):
wget URL
e.g.
wget http://www.linuxiso.org/download/suse-73.iso
or
wget ftp://someftpserver.domain.com/download/suse-73.iso

In *NIX (and I presume OSX) I schedule the wget downloads using either "at" or "cron", in Win* you could use "at" or "Task Scheduler" to schedule the downloads for off-peak times (be bandwidth friendly).  But you may already know all of this stuff. Maybe it'll help someone else if nothing else. I just had four jobs kick off a few minutes ago to download all of the FreeBSD CD images.  They'll be ready for burning in the morning.  In fact if I would have been thinking I would have added a command to burn the first CD as soon as it finished downloading. And of course I try and give copies to any of my friends who want them after doing this so they don't have to eat up more bandwidth.

Thanks Alot for this cool site.

Stinks that SuSE doesn't have a i386 full version like u can buy in the stores.

Sorry to dissapoint you, but I am a Windows user. I hate windows and Microsoft's evil business practices.

I am getting a new imac when they either have dual monitor suport or higher resolution support.
