If the damn ftp would stop aborting on me, I'd have downloaded them by now. Now I see why people would rather buy the commercial versions! :( *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

You are not able to get things sometimes... linux or otherwise... I believe either your setup of your Broadband or your ISP's equip is the problem. I have really sucky attbi. I can make it through it without much problem... course I disable thier IF settings except for IP addy and resolver stuff and gateway junk. Hopefully someday we can get your problem resolved. `greg, curley95@attbi.com -- REMEMBER ED CURRY!!!`

I'd use them to get the additional parts of the system, including XF86. You've also got `ncftp` (but not lftp), and can get w3m. It's pretty cool. I'm stretched out on the living room floor of my condo, sshd into my Linux workstation at the office, and sshd from there into the WinXP install running in VMWare on that workstation ;-) (And they say I'm virtually crazy....). `-- Karsten M.
