I am trying to install 2.0.5 RELEASE on my computer, to my second HDD
from my first.  When the installation program tries to copy the ROOT
image, it says it was unable to copy it.  If I ALT-F2 to the other
screen, it has "decompression dots" and below that it says: 
gunzip: stdin: Invalid compression character, or something along those
lines.  I have tried getting a replacement ROOT.FLP from
ftp.cdrom.com, but this does not seem to fix the problem..  Any
sugguestions?
