You know...I read this and thought ti was a great idea...I had been going and
ftp'ing in by hand and asking for binary-i386.tar.gz every time I wanted to
burn a CD..then have to unpack etc... PITA
I tried this with wget...it wont work. According tot ht elogs it logs on and
says that "hamm is not a plain file" and gives up...I have tried many
variations including typed exactly as you gave it.
