   I can only guess that is possible. Maybe I haven't set WizLynx up
properly (always a risk).  :)

   WizLynx does good things in DOS, it is only these Linux progs by FTP
that seem to have gremlins.

   Anyhow, I have now got those .tgz down and installed OK, and BL2-02
is running. And I will use other means to get the other bits and pieces.

Regards,
        Ron

Most of that is from the bloated glibc2 libraries.  
In BL1 (libc5 libraries) the compiler takes less 
than 20mb of HD space.  Anybody wanting to compile 
on a small HD should consider using BL1 instead of BL2.
