I'm trying to get Kermit up on my newly-purchased Linux workstation,
and assume from Frank's remark above that the CD that came with the
book I bought last spring is useless. Since I don't have networking
installed yet on my old computer, I'll need to download, then transfer
via floppy to the new machine, so a compact, Linux-only distribution
would be nice. Until I get Kermit up on the new machine, I can't
really download anything to it.
On the web site above is a link to:
kermit-t.1.103-1.src.rpm
which would seem a likely candidate. However after repeated attempts
I can't seem to get a web-browser-based ftp connection to that link.
Could I get a straight ftp pointer to that package? I normally find
it much easier anyway to do ftp downloads through an ftp process,
as it allows multiple items and unattended operation. I couldn't
see anything on the ftp site that had the 6.1 beta stuff. Is it
accessible through ftp?
Thanks very much in advance,
