I tried netfetch today. I didn't know it was new. It's cool enough, it
would be cooler if I didn't have to install all the driver disks...
Anyway, there's a problem with it. I tried roughly 12-15 times to dl the
base2_2.tgz file. Every time, the download was interrupted at some point
between 6 and 9 MB. I thought there was a server problem, but I then
downloaded the file on another computer with Netscape, and put it on a
webserver which is local in our network. Installation from that location
worked without a problem.
It was rather frustrating, really.
