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
