Yes. That is the landing page that lists the available repositories. They are links. I only keep a single “latest and unstable” repo on my server. So, you would select that repo. That will go into that repo. It will provide a list of package groups. Also at the bottom of the page are a few other links related to that specific repo. For example, there is a link for an RSS feed. Once you select a group, you will see a list of all the available packages for that group. Select a package and you will be provided with some information regarding the package and a link to download the latest version. If there are other older versions available. There will be links further down the page to for those versions with will take you to the page specifically for that other version. The Lynx Text Browser works extremely well with the site under DOS. I did try a few other DOS browsers. But, they had various issues. Some had problems with CSS. Some just seemed to go inert after the page loaded ignoring the url links. > > -- > Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, > based on faith, not based on science. > > Team OS/2 ** Reg.
