Again to all: I heard this often yesterday, and after checking, it works. I
found out with Christophe, that his problem was the following:

The browser (Some Windoze thing in his case, but i also got this with
Netscape/Linux) might tend to decompact the files while downloading. Just look
at the file sizes:

netbsd.gz   about 512KB
netbsd      about 1MB
boot.mop    about 50KB
boot.mopgz  about 20KB

The booter is small, the kernel is a little bit more :-) Just examine your
files if they are ok.

I will make an index.html containing the links some day, but then i always must
update this file when i change something. The problem is at my provider and his
"sitexplorer.cgi", i can't show a directory without using this, abd this script
cound declare everything as "document", in workst case ad "text/plain" or so,
the download could convert CR/LF or such things on some machines. If you use
wget or so, you must get the right file. (BTW: my lynx made it also).
