Date: 3 Aug 1995 23:28:54 GMT Organization: Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Lines: 16 Message-ID: <3vrm3m$jj@overload.lbl.gov> NNTP-Posting-Host: gracie.lbl.gov Recently, I got corruptted file when I installed FreeBSD 2.0.5 via FTP. I do not know if this file is damaged on site, or corruptted during FTP transfer. I found it because compiling kernel failed. Some thing like this: > isa/ft.c:831: ft->lastpos = asyng_ret; --- < isa/ft.c:831: ft->lastpos = async_ret; Does any one know what causes this happened? -- /-------------- Jin Guojun ------------ v ---- Internet: g_jin@lbl.gov ----\ | Imaging & Distributed Computing | Usenet: ucbvax!g_jin@lbl.gov | | Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | Bitnet: -- | | 50B-2239, Berkeley, CA 94720 - jin%george.lbl.gov@Csa3.LBL.Gov |
