Proper solution: Inform maintainer of web site to fix up the MIME type of downloaded files. It sounds like the web server is making files with the extension *.deb text/plain, when this is incorrect (and should be easy to fix). Note on Lynx: Push 'd' to download a link to a file instead of viewing it (or installing it). -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
