hi there:
i recently download the bindist and the etcdist and was able
to extarct the bino01 distribution with-out problems, however
when i did the extract on etc01 this is what happend:
---
cd /tmp
./extract etc01
checking distribution files
unpacking distribution
final installation

/tmp/install.etc01	can't open /tmp/install.etc01
extract cannot execute installation script of distribution, failed
---
it seems that all the files were extracted..  so what does this 
installation script do  and is the any clues of why
it was not created...??

thanks much
	michael
