Re: Debian 2.%$#@*&!
Wait! Hold the phone. I tried entering "nslookup ftp.uu.net" and
got an address, so I entered "ftp ftp.uu.net" and connected! "ftp
ftp.netscape.com also connects.
Cripes. Something so simple! Entering ftp.netscape.com from the
ftp> prompt gets "invalid command". You have to clear the prompt and type
in the first "ftp".
Anyway, I went to /pub and found a large "communicator" file. Any
chance this may be the holy grail? -- Max
