It acts like it is going to work, but then doesn't do anything. Also, loading a second distribution miscalculates the directory. For example if you are loading from /mnt/fum/foo/bindist, it calculates /mnt/fum/foo/bindist/manpages instead of /mnt/fum/foo/manpages. Also, the first time through it assumes bindist *even* if you are loading manpages... Finally, fscking your 1.1.5.1 disk from 2.0 is a *BAD IDEA*. You guys probably already knew that, but I didn't. I ended up using extract.sh, but that produced ``strange'' results, as in bindist seeming to be loaded twice (although it *did* get loaded). Any chance there is a fix for any of this? -- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 598 4480, Fax: +1 617 598 4430 R.W. Withrow Associates, 319 Lynnway, Lynn MA 01901 USA, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
