Last updated 1999-01-20 - -* Please send improvements to this file to gnu@gnu.org. - -* No Warranties - -We distribute software in the hope that it will be useful, but without -any warranty. No author or distributor of this software accepts -responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for -whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all, unless he -says so in writing. This is exactly the same warranty that the commercial -software companies offer: None. If the distribution is incomplete or the -media fails, you can always download a replacement from any of the GNU -mirrors, free of charge. - -* Updates - -A possibly more up-to-date list of GNU FTP sites is at - http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html - -* How to FTP - -Use the ftp program on your system (ask locally if you can't find it) -to connect to the host you are ftping from. Unless indicated -otherwise, login in as user "anonymous", with password: "your e-mail -address" and set "binary" mode (to transfer all eight bits in each -byte). - -ALWAYS USE BINARY/IMAGE MODE TO TRANSFER THESE FILES! -Text mode does not work for tar files or compressed files. - -* GNU Software and How To FTP It - -GNU software is available on ftp.gnu.org under the directory /gnu. -diff files to convert between versions exist for some of these -programs. Some programs have misc support files as well. Have a look -on ftp.gnu.org to see which ones. In most cases, the tar or diff -files are compressed with the `gzip' program; this is indicated with -the .gz suffix. - -Descriptions of GNU software are available at - http://www.gnu.org/software/software.html - -* Alternative Internet FTP Sources - -Please do NOT use a site outside your country, until you have checked -all sites inside your country, and then your continent. Trans-ocean -TCP/IP links are very expensive and usually very low speed. - -The canonical GNU ftp site is located at ftp.gnu.org/gnu. -You should probably use one of the many mirrors of that site - the -mirrors will be less busy, and you can find one closer to your site. - -* GNU FTP Site Mirror List - -United States: - - -California - labrea.stanford.edu/pub/gnu, gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/GNU -Hawaii - ftp.hawaii.edu/mirrors/gnu -Illinois - uiarchive.cso.uiuc.edu/pub/gnu (Internet address 128.174.5.14) -Kentucky - ftp.ms.uky.edu/pub/gnu -Maryland - ftp.digex.net/pub/gnu (Internet address 164.109.10.23) -Massachusetts - aeneas.mit.edu/pub/gnu -Michigan - gnu.egr.msu.edu/pub/gnu -Missouri - wuarchive.wustl.edu/systems/gnu -New Mexico - ftp.cs.unm.edu/mirrors/gnu -New York - ftp.cs.columbia.edu/archives/gnu/prep -Ohio - ftp.cis.ohio-state.edu/mirror/gnu -Tennessee - ftp.skyfire.net/pub/gnu -Virginia - ftp.uu.net/archive/systems/gnu -Washington - ftp.nodomainname.net/pub/mirrors/gnu - -Africa: - -South Africa - ftp.sun.ac.za/gnu - -The Americas: - -Brazil - ftp.unicamp.br/pub/gnu -Brazil - master.softaplic.com.br/pub/gnu -Brazil - linuxlabs.lci.ufrj.br/gnu -Canada - ftp.cs.ubc.ca/mirror2/gnu -Chile - ftp.inf.utfsm.cl/pub/gnu (Internet address 146.83.198.3) -Costa Rica - sunsite.ulatina.ac.cr/GNU -Mexico - ftp.uaem.mx/pub/gnu - -Australia: - -Australia - archie.au/gnu (archie.oz or archie.oz.au for ACSnet) -Australia - ftp.progsoc.uts.edu.au/pub/gnu -Australia - mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/gnu - -Asia: - -Japan - tron.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pub/GNU/prep -Japan - ftp.cs.titech.ac.jp/pub/gnu -Korea - cair-archive.kaist.ac.kr/pub/gnu (Internet address 143.248.186.3) -Saudi Arabia - ftp.isu.net.sa/pub/mirrors/prep.ai.mit.edu/ -Taiwan - ftp.edu.tw/UNIX/gnu/ -Taiwan - ftp.nctu.edu.tw/UNIX/gnu/ -Taiwan - ftp1.sinica.edu.tw/pub3/GNU/gnu/ -Thailand - ftp.nectec.or.th/pub/mirrors/gnu (Internet address - 192.150.251.32) - -Europe: - -Austria - ftp.univie.ac.at/packages/gnu -Austria - gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/gnusrc -Belgium - ftp.be.gnu.org/ -Austria - http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/gnusrc/ -Czech Republic - ftp.fi.muni.cz/pub/gnu/ -Denmark - ftp.denet.dk/mirror/ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu -Denmark - ftp.dkuug.dk/pub/gnu/ -Finland - ftp.funet.fi/pub/gnu -France - ftp.univ-lyon1.fr/pub/gnu -France - ftp.irisa.fr/pub/gnu -Germany - ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/pub/comp/os/unix/gnu/ -Germany - ftp.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/gnu -Germany - ftp.de.uu.net/pub/gnu -Greece - ftp.forthnet.gr/pub/gnu -Greece - ftp.ntua.gr/pub/gnu -Greece - ftp.aua.gr/pub/mirrors/GNU (Internet address 143.233.187.61) -Hungary - ftp.kfki.hu/pub/gnu -Ireland - ftp.esat.net/pub/gnu (Internet address 193.120.14.241) -Italy - ftp.oasi.gpa.it/pub/gnu -Netherlands - ftp.eu.net/gnu (Internet address 192.16.202.1) -Netherlands - ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu -Netherlands - ftp.win.tue.nl/pub/gnu (Internet address 131.155.70.19) -Norway - ftp.ntnu.no/pub/gnu (Internet address 129.241.11.142) -Poland - ftp.task.gda.pl/pub/gnu -Portugal - ftp.ci.uminho.pt/pub/mirrors/gnu -Portugal - http://ciumix.ci.uminho.pt/mirrors/gnu/ -Portugal - ftp.ist.utl.pt/pub/gnu -Russia - ftp.chg.ru/pub/gnu/ -Slovenia - ftp.arnes.si/pub/software/gnu -Spain - ftp.etsimo.uniovi.es/pub/gnu -Sweden - ftp.isy.liu.se/pub/gnu -Sweden - ftp.stacken.kth.se -Sweden - ftp.luth.se/pub/unix/gnu -Sweden - ftp.sunet.se/pub/gnu (Internet address 130.238.127.3) - Also mirrors the Mailing List Archives. -Sweden - swamp.ios.chalmers.se/pub/gnu/ -Switzerland - ftp.eunet.ch/mirrors4/gnu -Switzerland - sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/gnu (Internet address 193.5.24.1) -United Kingdom - ftp.mcc.ac.uk/pub/gnu (Internet address 130.88.203.12) -United Kingdom - unix.hensa.ac.uk/mirrors/gnu -United Kingdom - ftp.warwick.ac.uk (Internet address 137.205.192.14) -United Kingdom - SunSITE.doc.ic.ac.uk/gnu (Internet address 193.63.255.4) - -* How to FTP GNU Emacs - -Emacs is in the directory /gnu/emacs on ftp.gnu.org.

Sorry.) - -** A minimal TeX collection (enough to process Texinfo files, anyway) -is included on the GNU source CD-ROM.

See their periodic -postings on the Usenet newsgroup comp.sources.d for informational -updates.
