[lug] redhat down?

[John Hernandez]

Used my Netscape browser.  Started at ftp://updates.redhat.com/ and clicked my way down.

Command line seems ok, too:

$ lftp ftp://updates.redhat.com/6.2
cd ok, cwd=/6.2                                        
lftp> ls
total 8
drwxr-xr-x   5 root     235          4096 Mar 28 20:10 en
lftp> cd en/os/i386
cd ok, cwd=/6.2/en/os/i386                 
lftp>
