Hi Chen, The address for mysql source is ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/non-free/source/devel/mysql_3.21.33b.orig.tar.gz Usually sources are too big for them to be emailed. However, I remember that ORA used to provide an ftpmail service for people who had email access, but no ftp. Here's how it works: Send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with no subject and the word 'help' in the body of the message, and you will get full instructions. Usually, you just put the ftp commands in the body of the email... for example: To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: reply [EMAIL PROTECTED] connect ftp.debian.org chdir /debian/dists/stable/non-free/source/devel dir binary uuencode get mysql_3.21.33b.orig.tar.gz quit And you will get a uuencoded mail(s) with the desired file. If you don't know exactly where the file is, you can just use the dir commands to search, or most sites have an ls-lR file in the root directory that lists all files contained in the archive. Hope this helps, -Mitch
