Hi Maybe you have the same problem I had - had me going for a week! Go into the bin dist directory on your system and type: cat bin_tgz.* | gzip -t --- if bin_tgz.* is the dist files, don't have them at hand now... and see if you get a CRC error. I nfs mounted the archive site I use and cp -R the dist, all came over and the file sizes where CORRECT, but I still got a CRC error (murphy - the though to try it came to me while I was laying I bed trying to sleep... :-) Note to the DIST builders - can you in SOMEWAY please put a CRC check program on the 3 disk install set??? I looked and there doesn't seem to be space, but then you guys can do magic :-) Rdgs Ernst
