What's wrong with using the right tool for the job, an FTP client? The convenience of having browsers do it is nice, but FTP is normally handled much better by an FTP client. Just because M$ doesn't supply one doesn't mean one can't be added. There are other means, too. Like right-clicking and choosing the save option. Or getting a download manager that uses drag'n'drop so the link can be dropped on to that. > On the pensacola beta i was unable to install on a 233mmx, a friend of > mine had same bug show up on his 233mmx.

I was able to install on a 200mmx, so I can't imagine what the problem might be. -- ...and that is how we know the Earth to be banana-shaped. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
