- ftp.demon.co.uk:/pub/amiga/installer

- There are 2 in there, AmigaNOS - the "official" package (see below)
- And AmiTCP, which is a proper TCP/IP stack, the installer's been put together
- over the years by different denizens of this group.

- You'll need to get the IRC package seperately, and though it does come with
- a Web browser, it's a text only one, so again you'll probably want to
- replace it.

- Yep, but it's junk, it's a port of ka9q, which might be very nice on a
- brain dead messydog machine 'cos it pretends to multitask, but is not in
- any way, shape or form an Amiga package.
-
- One thing, 2MB is an absolute minimum for AmiTCP and a Web browser. And
- display is pretty slow on a stock A1200 (try running your losedoze package
- on a 386 with 2MB...)
