(Hmm.. What's the `call' doing there? Well, it doesn't seem to affect
anything.)
ftp.us.debian.org does _not_ offer the CD images for download; instead refer
to http://cdimage.debian.org/rsync-mirrors.html for server addresses.
Then, for the server of your choice, use the `directory' commands to determine
the actual directory (there's no one with `2.1' any more, latest is `2.1r4').
