I'd like to take time to point this out. I thought that I was the only one experiencing this problem, but Mark is the third person who has remarked about this. This is true of Debian-1.1.2. I haven't checked 1.1.3. All the special-kernel boot-disks have a corrupt modules.tgz file on them. It's a valid gzip file, but an invalid tar file. It's as if the tar file was cut in half or something. The way to get around this is to download the kernel-image package to another Unix machine, use ar and gzip and tar to extract the modules you need, then build your own modules.tar.gz file. Then copy it onto the boot disk (it has an MS-DOS filesystem onit) as 'modules.tgz'. This will then let you install the kernel. --gilbert ______________________________________________________________________ Gilbert Ramirez Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Texas http://merece.uthscsa.edu/gram Health Science Center at San Antonio University Health System
