just the way ive always done it.
byblyk, go back to the sites where you said when you tried to download it you just recieved garbage on the screen. instead of regular clicking on whatever link brought you to that, right click on it and click save as.
if those links dont turn out to be what you were expecting, try searching freshmeat.net. you could of course go to a redhat package specific site, but i dont feel like searching for any
.
however you *should* know about freshmeat.net, as well as cool little projects people throw together, you can find many standard unix tools there aswell.
