    Running 9.1 on a Pentium II with 400mHz and having a very wacky dialup
    connection to the rest of the world. Updates and patches are a pain
    in the neck. I have problems to download patches, the latest KDE and
    newer kernels.
    My ISP is prepared to download stuff and burn it on a cd. I do want
    to try out there offer and see what they say if I ask for the latest
    kernel ;-). They need URL's and what files or directories I want.
    I know what I want:

    kernel (>2.6.8)
    Patches
    KDE 3.3
    sane (latest)

    My problem starts if I want to give easy instructions what and where
    to download. They think to download such things during (our) night
    (Jakarta, Indonesia).
    Easiest would be details of an URL down to a directory. As I have
    seldom the possibility to surf the web in depth it would be great if
    somebody could give me some pointers in the right direction.
    How to find out the total Mb to be download?
    Anything to tell the folks how to burn the cd?
