wget? Or compile ssl into lynx? Or omit the protocol (or try ftp://) and see if you get to the non-https site (tho' of course still verify checksums/proper-site/&c)? > 2.) the addresses given for all xorg programs, > "ftp.x.org/pub/individual/proto" ( this one as an example ) does'nt work for > me. Lynx cannot find the files. I had to use the systemd book addresses: > "xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/proto" > For this particular case, perhaps just use 'ftp://ftp.x.org/.....' . 'http://...' looks like is just placeholder. 'https://...' looks like it hits complaints/&c that the cert is for '....freedesktop.org' . akh -- -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
