Looks fairly similar, gonna have wget suck tonight and I'll suck on Monday!

not quite sure whether to get i386 or i686 (can't remember which was on the
system before I got the updates from redhat but the system is a PIII 866 so
I guess i686 is what I should be getting.

Linux bofh.irmet.ie 2.2.16-22 #1 Tue Aug 22 16:49:06 EDT 2000 i686 unknown
