Yep, almost. The Slack-generation care about bandwidth (about
_any_ ressources for that matter ;)). So the idea is that you
have the CD in another computer, say Laptop, and exported over

There _are_ tools coming for the new generation though. See
http://slackftp.sourceforge.net (haven't tried myself).
