Not really sure what happened with ftp://obsd.cec.mtu.edu/pub/OpenBSD/4.7/packages/i386/ since it worked fine for me including 'ls'. As for the 2nd one you tried which didn't work: ftp://openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.7/packages/i386/ Try this: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.7/packages/i386/ -- =============================================================== Denny White - denny...@cableone.net GnuPG key : 0x1644E79A | http://wwwkeys.de.pgp.net Fingerprint: D0A9 AD44 1F10 E09E 0E67 EC25 CB44 F2E5 1644 E79A =============================================================== () ASCII ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments ===============================================================
