Uh oh...

My school is uber-bitchy. Not only do they have outbound IP blocks left and right, but they block all outgoing connections except :80, :81, and whatever port GroupWise mail uses.

It's ok. :80 is HTTP, which can serve you up an ISO!

And what about the friends bit?

Yeah, what's wrong with HTTP?

Although there are many, many http mirrors, here one:
http://carroll.cac.psu.edu/pub/linux/distributions/slackware/slackware-10.2-iso/

And apparently it's 155mbit.

Meh, wget.exe is blocked as well, so I can't use it for -c, and they have IE, the mother of all mistakes, so I can't resume with that.

Seriously, could someone just send the two Slackware disks? I could pay you a little bit for your disks and effort, but the 30 for their CD's is just bull..

I was looking for that stupid CD mailer you sent me, but I cant find it. I can probibaly burn you two coppys, but it might be like, a week~.

Purchasing the Slackware CDs is basically like donating to their project.  If I had a credit card I'd buy the official CDs for sure.

I seem to have forgotten what I need to burn to the cds; just the .ISOs? Or, both that and the .md5?

The file with the .md5 exstension contains a file digestion hash of the ISO so you can verify you downloaded the one you were intending to.

$ md5sum <ISO> && cat <ISO.md5>

There's probably a more fancy way to do it, but that works.

I'll be on my sister's window laptop for DLing and burning, so.. ?

[Sidoh]

I think you'll be fine.  Like I said, it's just to verify you've downloaded the file you wanted.

Yeah, I was too lazy to do it any how. I'll just trust that sorce.

@iago: I definately agree, and support the Slackware project, but I already owe Tory 50 dollars for stuff he bought me and I'm working on paying him back with no income, except lunch money.

Get a job instead of going to Church. 

[Newby]

PWNED.

[MyndFyre]

Get a job instead of going to Church. 

What's funny is that the two aren't even mutually exclusive.  I've been working for 6 years now, going to church for almost that long.  Now I'm working two jobs and still managing to hit up church.

But you're assuming Joe has any skills that are in demand.
