I have been trying to install the bin01 distribution, but the extract hangs
when trying to execute the install.bin01 script.  It seems as though chmod
hangs my system ( install.bin01 is not set executable ).  If I try to run
sh MAKEDEV, I run into the same problem (chmod hanging).  Any suggestions?
Is there a patch or patches that I need to apply this early in the game?

Thanks for any help.

Kevin
