I could use a bit of help to get a copy of Puppy Unleashed.  

I am a Social Security disability recipient who lives about five blocks from the University of Utah.  As I have little money I use dial-up.  As you guys probably know, Puppy Unleashed is a group of applications which can be directly installed into Puppy Linux.  I believe Puppy Unleashed is about a full CD in size. .  There is several things about this process I do not know.  As I understand this..  Usually one downloads a framework of several megabytes and executes a script to get the rest of Puppy Unleashed.   That creates a problem if I am asking a friend to download the larger part with Windows.   If I took my one GB USB drive to the University and tried to download it at the University computer center.   I am guessing here.  I have to find where the Unleashed packages are hiding.  I would need to use a spider function on a download manager.  Oops. I am not sure that the University Computer center would let me do that with their computers.  

Might be just as well if one of you can advise me if I can use the University Computer to do this.  Or perhaps furnish the larger part on CD and a note on how I can get it to install.  

A second question.   I am considering buying a Linux guide. I seem to end up looking at a fourteen inch monitor with my second best computer and an E-manual.  Not so easy for me to do with my poor vision.    At first I was thinking of a Pocket guide to show the syntax of Command Line.   I do not see anything I am thrilled with.  I did find that larger Linux guides bought from Amazon.com are almost affordable.  I am considering the Rute guide.  I probably will not buy it until January, when there is a Linux Bible 2007 to come out.   I am something of a beginner with Linux.  I only want to be able to use Linux.  Not write code for it.  Any suggestions as to which printed Linux guide which would be good for me to purchase?
