Cool. I'll have to remember this. > ftp://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm-223.tgz This is Tom Dickey's ftp repo where he hosts the project. It appears his whole site is down as http://dickey.his.com/ is down, too. > ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/src/unzip552.tar.gz > ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/src/zip232.tar.gz I noticed these guys went dead on me a week or so ago. I started using the infozip sourceforge links. A very sucky part is that it only has the zip sources in zip format, forcing the need to depend on unzip. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/infozip/unzip552.tar.gz http://downloads.sourceforge.net/infozip/zip232.zip > ftp://ftp.python.org/pub/python/2.4.4/Python-2.4.4.tar.bz2 I can't reach the ftp server at all. > http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/essential-20060501.tar.bz2 > http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20060501.tar.bz2 > http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/Skin/Blue-1.5.tar.bz2 There was an email about this the other day. New codecs and Blue-1.7 are available. Might be worth getting in a last minute update as they're probably safe to use. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
