Hi all, I have found out that I am having a problem downloading the file from the ftp site (sunsite.unc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian/buzz/msdos-i386), but I don't know how to fix it. If I click on the file (using Netscape Navigator), I get the binary garbage written out to my screen. If I right click on the file icon, and use the "Save Link As.." option, I can save it to my hard disk. The problem is that it is not saving this in a binary format. I can go to the Netscape options (Options | General Preferences... | helpers) and add in the deb extention to the "application/x-compress" entry but this still doesn't work. I went through compuserve and retrieved the same file using their ftp menu and then compared them (saved the same file with a different name) doing a DOS command "fc win95tmp.deb cmpsvtmp.deb /b" and they are way different. I can copy them both to diskette and the one that I downloaded from compuserve will work but the other one won't.
What is wrong here?
