Thanks for the ideas about wget and uget. I haven't figured out what URLs to provide to them though. I also read that the Opera browser does a better job than Firefox as far as resuming downloads. I could use Opera when I'm going to download a large file. I tried installing Manjaro, but ran into another problem. Sorry I didn't write down what it was So I was back to Arch for another install. This one took about 5 hours. The thing that threw me this time was I was trying to use gpt rather than mbr. I had used gpt on the machine I installed Arch on last week and that machine is several years older than the machine I was working on this time. After about 4 or 5 attempts with gpt, I decided to try mbr. That worked like a charm. The new system has about 90 tasks processes running. My previous Fedora install had over 180 tasks running on it. I have the feeling some of the Arch tasks aren't really needed either, but I'm happy for now to cut out some of the junk Fedora runs. -- Brian Ebenezer Enterprises - Was Eisenhower the last decent President? http://webEbenezer.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
