I am getting unable to extract errors.... Date: Sun, 6 Apr 1997 14:34:31 -0400 Organization: IGS - Information Gateway Services Lines: 24 Message-ID: <MPG.db1b6c06cdd3d2b989688@news.igs.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ttya03.ptbo.igs.net X-Newsreader: Anawave Gravity v1.10.575 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:38584 I am trying to install from a DOS partition and all I get are Write Failure on Transfer (wrote -1 bytes of...bytes) messages, followed by Unable to extract the...distribution from wd0s1. Do you want to try to retrieve it again? messages. The distributions that didn't work were bin, dec, doc, manpages, dict, krb,ssecure, sebones, x32lib, x32man, x32set, x32bin. The only ones that did work were ports and the rest of the xfree86 dist. It took me the better part of 4 days to download it, so I really want a chance to play with the damn thing. If I can't get it to work, I will delete all the files in effigy. Any help would be appreciated and NEEDED!!!!!!!!!! Tanks, -- Craig Newell Black Sun Microsystems black_sun@techie.com
