About this type of downloading just the drivers, etc. you need instead of the 6 meg tarred/feathered file, how about a dedicated telnet server running a program that asks you which kernel-source you have now and then asks you what drivers/modules/updates you want and then builds you a patch file. Or maybe you could send an email to a mail-server and get a document back from which you can select certain drivers/patches and then mail it back (kind of like gophermail) and it could send you a tarred/feathered/uuencoded file and install it on your system. Or another approach might be to have a web page with a Java program ........ This could easily happen if someone would just build the web page, write the telnet program, or put up a mailserver.
