Now you confused me. Which two packages? I didn't mean that ftp and telnet were pulled - I meant that links supports http, https, ftp, and telnet.
links and elinks

elinks is in the RHEL WS 3 channel. I would expect it to be in ES too.
Nope, not in the ES channel. Wonder why?!?!
It's online in the sources directory:
lftp ftp.redhat.com:/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/3/en/os/i386/SRPMS> ls -l elinks*
-rw-r--r-- 6 ftp ftp 803397 Oct 21 19:59 elinks-0.4.2-7.src.rpm
Yea, but that kind of sucks because you can't use up2date to get it. Atleast not on ES 3.
The one package I miss in 3 is ncftp - it's been replaced by lftp, just like it was in later releases of RHL. I haven't decided if I want to learn the differences in lftp or just go download ncftp.
Of course, the one package that's got everybody grumbling is mysql-server. It was pulled from ES and that really sucks.
hmm....you're right. mysql-server isn't in the ES 3 either.
Still wish that someone would know WHY RedHat took out these and other packages between ES 2.1 and ES 3. Seems the ones they took out are the ones that I want the most.
