First off, let me say that the new 2.0.5R installation is absolutely
fabulous. Clear cut, intuitive, etc etc etc. A job well done guys!

I have installed 2.0.5R via FTP (PPP) from the secondary site. Everything
was very smooth until my modem decided to drop the carrier. Aborted the
installation, pulled out the floppy, and rebooted with kernel.GENERIC.
System seems ok, although I can't say if it's missing anything important.

Guess I was a bit greedy when I asked to install everything, but (and 
here's the question) at the moment it stopped it was loading subin (91%
done). When you ask for everything what order does it load the packages
in? ie. I know it loaded bin ok, but x11r6 is not there. Is there a log
somewhere of the stuff loaded?

thanks.

cheers
