ok, we have 386bsd up and running. we want to patch it up to
the current (unofficial) level. we had a problem, which was
that our disk was not big enough. after sysiphean labors we
managed to get the suckah running as an nsf client (decstation
5000/240 as server ... don't ask). so I get the srcdist, run
extract, everything is cool until:

Final installation:
/tmp/install.src01: Can't open /tmp/install.src01
extract: Cannot execute installation script of distribution, failed

I look and the extract program has failed to create install.src01.
so does anyone out there either have a copy of install.src01 or a
clue for me?

thank you,
josh
