I presume you are installing to Intel based hardware - in which case you
will need the "x86" link NOT the "Alpha" one !
As Dave Patrick has already replied to you, SP6a is also mirrored by
numerous sites, including download.com - which was the link he posted.
I haven't looked recently, but last time I was there the Microsoft FTP
servers still had all the NT4 content 9including the Service Packs and
hotfixes) in place.

Hmm,
I tired on Friday (the link on the knowledgebase article for x86 SP6a)
and it offered a download to me - I didn't actually download it. Data
here in Aus is metered and I wasn't going to waste 30MB to prove the
file was valid - so from what you are saying I gather the link on the
page no longer provides the SP6a file ?
Definitely time that ALL NT4 users made SURE they have copies of
everything they may want/need in the future - availability on the web
seems to be drying up

That one is nothing more than the SP6 to SP6A hotfix patch. (330K)
