If you try to get a copy of the debian archive (say devel) with ncftp's get -R command, you'll mostly get a directory full of symlinks. Using get devel.tar does the same thing. Is there an easy way to get the actual files, following the links? Thanks -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to debian-user-REQUEST@lists.debian.org .
