slackNET

Hey all,

I want to install Slack through the net, so I burned a minimal bootable cd iso from slackNET. During setup it asks for the IP address of a source.

I know there's loads of mirrors, but how do I find out their ip address (instead of URL)?

Cheers, Leon.

There are many ways...

Code:

ping mirror.com
dig mirror.com A

Thanks. The answer was too obvious... after I found out you can use 'ping' from a w2k box

Cheers, Leon.
