Message-ID: <3540@ra.nrl.navy.mil> Date: 9 Sep 92 05:51:02 GMT Distribution: world Organization: Naval Research Lab, Washington, DC Lines: 32 Hello, I am having trouble installing 306bsd. This morning, I mread the bin dist into /tmp and then extracted them fine. However, when the system accidently rebooted, I decided that I should start over from scratch rather than invest more time and kill myself later. So I did just that, and now no matter what the hell I do, extract tells me that etc01.71 and bin01.46 are corrupt. Now, I am using the same disks are I did before, and I even re-ftp-ed them from my workstation to my PC, when that didn't work, I even re-ftp-ed them from agate.berkeley to my PC, When that didn't work, I even ftp-ed them from agate.berkeley to my 386bsd setup using slip. No matter what I do, these two files etc01.71 & bin01.46 are corrupt. Does anyone have any ideas of what I am doing wrong? I have re-installed tiny-bsd many times and started over and over from scratch. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix my situation. thanks in advance -Mark Gateway 386/25 w/ 8megs, 105meg bsd partition active on drive 0, ati vga, esdi, mread b:*.* /tmp - from 3.5" -- Mark Solsman Building 1, Code 5160 United States Naval Research Laboratory solsman@ra.nrl.navy.mil Washington, DC (202) 767-5769
