Wait another 7h for 11.0 or just install 10.2
I decided to install slackware again and right now I'm downloading the 11.0 DVD iso, but it has 7h left of downloading. Should I wait for it to finish or should cancel and install the 10.2 version with my already burned cds? I mean, is it a HUGE difference or just small details that I will never notice?

You could have only downloaded CD1.... it suffices to install a box... without KDE.

I see you have "Gentoo" at distribution.. so waiting shouldn't be a problem for you :-)
