Date: 22 Jan 1996 14:50:26 -0500 Organization: Interport Communications Corp. Lines: 23 Message-ID: <4e0pq2$cks@interport.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: interport.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I haven't been able to get my Mitsumi CD-ROM working under FreeBSD 2.1 yet, so I thought I'd try using the xcopy commands to copy the bindist and the floppies over to my DOS partition. Well, somewhere during the install, gunzip fails with "gunzip failed: crc error" or something like that, and the pipe to cpio breaks, causing a fail on the install. This happens during the unpacking of the bin distribution. I tried using xcopy with /v and it still fails, so I don't think it's a problem with copy integrity. I talked w/ Walnut Creek about this, and they said that they've heard of this problem before, but can't reproduce it anywhere. Anyone have any ideas? Please reply via email; I'll follow up if something works. Thanks, Seth Bromberger seth@interport.net -- Seth Bromberger seth@interport.net
