A specific README could be the Linux86 one at <ftp://
index.storsys.ibm.com/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/
v5r3/Linux/Linux86/v532/TSM532C_LINUX86.README_enu.htm>

The problem does not arise if I right-click and save the README to my
hard drive and then open it. It occurs if I click a direct link (like
the one above) or if I just left-click the README link when browsing
in the Linux86 5.3.2 directory. I can replicate the issue with
Firefox 1.0.7 on Windows XP SP 2 and Mac OS X 10.4.2.

Thanks.

I have no problem viewing the READMEs for 5.3.2 with Firefox.

Is there a *specific* README/link that is giving you trouble?

Hello TSM Admins.

When trying to access the README files for the new 5.3.2 Clients from
IBM's public FTP site (ftp://index.storsys.ibm.com/tivoli-storage-
management/maintenance/client/v5r3) in Mozilla Firefox, I get a 550:
No such file or directory error when the browser tries to access the
swg_info_common.css file. The interesting thing is that once I click
OK to the error, the README shows up anyway. Trying the README in a
different browser like IE or Safari just shows the README without an
error message.

It looks like the new HTML readmes try to access a CSS file, but the
file does not exist on the FTP site. Has anyone else experienced
this? Is this just a mistake on IBM's part?

Thank you in advance for any help.
