	I copied these files using ftp with image/binary option and when I tried
	
	cat /mnt/386BSD.X386* | uncompress | tar -xf -

	I got 

	stdin: not in compressed format

	then I tried  

	cat /mnt/386BSD.X386* |  tar -xf -

	I got

	cat: /mnt/386BSD.X386-1.2E.bin.tar: Input/output error
	tar: Skipping to next file header...

	Please tell me what I am doing wrong,

	also /pub/incoming/ 

	I cannot read ( this is because incoming directory do not have read permission
)
	Please tell me what are the files I should be looking for ,I want  entire 
	X11R5 distribution.

								Thanks
