I downloaded all the etc01.?? files into /tmp today, and then ran the
command

extract etc01

(I had to get the extract file from the baseutils.cpio.Z archie from the
tiny 386bsd floppy because it got deleted when I rebooted my machine after
getting the bin01 files....)

However, when I did this, It ran fine for a long time, but then complained
that it couldn't find some file like install.etc01 or something like that,
and then it said that it couldn't build anything, and that the installlation
wasn't complete.

What happened here, and how can I fix it...?  I noticed that there is an
awful lot of extra source on my disk, but I can't seem to get anything
to build properly.

Ideas...?

Thanks!


Toodlepip!
Marc 'em.
