Rubyx on OS News

If you only want to open the Rubyx script, you can probably mount it with
"loop" (in Linux, anyway), as in:

    mount -o loop rubyx-82-i386-cd.iso /mnt

And copy somewhere else the script before unmounting.

Ooo.. that's promising.

I tired to download using ww. It took ~24 hours to download cd iso, but when
it finished it gave:

  0 remaining
  ww.execute() caught an unexpected exception: Loader exited due to error:
  Extracted file digest is incorrect: rubyx-82-i386-cd.iso

So I do not have much hope that it will work. I don't know the details but it
sure would be nice if it could go back and fix itself, (rsync?) or something.
