What do you mean "redirections"? The script prompts for the iso name and then prompts for the full URL up to but not including the iso. What are you typing for both of these prompts?

for the first dsl-0.7.3.iso

for the second i cut and paste then delete the dsl bit from the end, i notice the script is prefixed with http now when you follow a normal link it redirects you to http//ftp , could this be the problem

mpie, I changed the script to not prompt for the URL. It is coded into the script. Please try again. It will only fetch the dsl version in the current directory, i.e., it is currently dsl-.0.7.3.iso

So the answers to the prompt should be something like this:

Enter the partition to hold the iso: hda1
Enter the partition to install into: hda2
Enter the name of the remote iso file: dsl-0.7.3.iso
