Date: 7 May 1993 18:59:13 GMT Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lines: 29 Distribution: world Message-ID: <1sebi1INN9uf@senator-bedfellow.MIT.EDU> NNTP-Posting-Host: m66-080-15.mit.edu Hi. I just installed 386BSD 0.1 and am trying to patch it to 0.2.3. I noticed that the patch was ~1.65Mb in size, compressed, so I uuencoded it, split it in two, transfered it to disks, copied it to my local system, read it in, put it back together, uudecoded it, and then... I tried to uncompress it, as is customary with any file named xxx.tar.z, and I got the error that it wasn't in compressed format. However, it doesn't seem to be in tar format either. Unzip doesn't seem to recognize it either. HELP!!! If you can help me, could you please organize your response in the following fashion: 1. Suggestions on how to get a 1.6Mb file from my system at work (DECStation 3100) to my personal system (486DX/33) over 1.4Mb floppies. 2. How to unpack it. I read the FAQ, but those things don't seem to work. HEEEELLLLLLLLLP!!!!! One other thing... I looked for and got parts 1-3 of the FAQ from comp.os.386bsd.announce, but where can I find the rest? Thanks in advance for your gracious help, ||---------------------------||--------------------------------------------|| \\ Eric Danforth Mudama \\ "babble, gurgle, duh..." \\ || edmudama@athena.mit.edu || cat flames.txt response.mean > /dev/null || //---------------------------//--------------------------------------------//
