Still can't get to Skunkware site
Edward Hooper
anyone know of a mirror site? I'm trying to find the latest custom
loadable versions of Perl, Python (with tkinter support please!),
Samba, and others...
Thanks!

now and had no problem downloading various and sundry things.
Bill Campbell and other ftp sites listed at
http://pcunix.com/Links/ftp.html are not mirrors of Skunkware but do
have binaries for many things..

The site is there - but a bit hinky at times.
I can try to list something and get passive ftp refused - and I'm
NOT in a passive mode, and after entering the command about 3 times
it comes through. I was running 65KB/sec on a transfer yesterday
which really is pretty decent for a busy server.

Perhaps you'd be so kind as to disclose how you tried to get access and
what blocks you stumbled over?
On reading your message, I pointed Netscape to www.caldera.com/skunkware,
which came up instantly.

I can, however get to the ftp site from my computer at home.
I am guessing it is my companies firewall.

The ftp2 site apparently has a user limit that does not allow access
when exceeded. The problem is that the traditional error message is
not configured on the server, so all you see is a blank screen. I
tried it with a command line ftp and got a hang when over the max user
count. No error message. It worked correctly after a few users went
away. The same test with Netscape and IE5.5 (under Windoze) yielded a
blank screen and no clue why it failed.

While this wont help for the skunkware if you need the UW7 ptfs,
or the Openserver oss* files or the updates such as rs506a, and you
have difficulty getting to the site or have speed problems, I
found that
ftp ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/caldera has most of the files.
I actually get faster transfers from the trans-Atlantic connection
than I get going to one of the US sites at times. This is also a
mirror of about 50 Linux distributions, all the BSD variants,
and mirrors of borland, mcaee, netscape, simtel, sunsite and quite
a few others. You might want to stick this address somewhere
handy.

That is a mirror of metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/distributions/caldera.
And both of them certainly DO have the same oss files as on
ftp.caldera.com (which is only the few dozen latest ones, for OSR 5
only).

By most I do notice that things like skunkware are missing.
Jean-Pierre Radley
Rephrase that: those sites are mirroring a Caldera site which does not
itself comprise any Skunkware pages.
