Message-ID: <1992Aug12.023903.1433@msuinfo.cl.msu.edu> Date: 12 Aug 92 02:39:03 GMT Sender: news@msuinfo.cl.msu.edu Organization: Michigan State University, East Lansing Lines: 26 I have tried to get the source for 386bsd from a few different sites, including agate. And each time I do, the tar file seems to be corrupt. I think the problem is the first line of the tar file, it seems to be garbled. After that it looks normal. I have tried it several times, on several different machines, with the same result each time. Here's what I do: - download the files (yes I used binary mode) src01.?? - cat src01.?? > scr.tar.Z - uncompress src.tar.Z - tar xvf src.tar.Z tar then gives me a message saying it doesn't look like a tar file. Am I overlooking something totally simple here or what?
