During the extraction of the files bin_tgz.??, there was a core dump when tar attempted to write the file /usr/lib/libc.so.1.0. The file in /usr/lib was incomplete, so utilities which require it would not run. Sorry about this. If you look at the `extract' command which is provided in cpio.magic (in your root .profile when you're first installing), you'll see that it actually does the right thing. This should have been fixed in the EXTRACT.sh in the bindist, however, and I'm going to roll another release soon that fixes this (and a number of other things - more details shortly). FreeBSD Team: Thanks for the great work. This has come a long way from 386BSD 0.0... I am looking forward to your future releases... Thanks! You won't have too long to wait - 1.1.5 should be in a couple of months, tops. Jordan -- Jordan K. Hubbard FreeBSD core team Friend to mollusks
