I suspect that stateful protocols don't work well on 802.11b with lots of traffic
No, the build process will take care of that, as long as it finds the file it needs.OJ said:Two questions comes to mind:
- should I uncompress those files?
Nope, it doesn't really care where the file comes from as long as the checksum and contents are correct. I've been doing that a lot with a couple of unbunutu machines: just rsync-ing /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb from machine to machine, instead of pulling it down multiple times (wireless with 802.11b and 802.11g clients on the same AP seems to make nfsd(8) flake out a lot, but maybe it's just that this AP stinks).- do they need to be downloaded on the same computer as I'm installing. I'm working through telnet to make it easy and use wget, but obviously that is not possible with the java site clickthroughs. It will be the same IP but would it make a difference?
