Try issuing the command: tar -tzf<filename> That should tell you if there is something wrong with the .tgz file that you have downloaded. As far as the idea of writing the disks on another computer, it is along the idea that in some cases, the drive becomes minutely damaged thus causing a problem with the direct sector by sector/track by track copy of data to the diskettes. However, personally I would recommend running the above test command on the .tgz file first to find out if, perhaps, you did get a bad copy of the file (Couldn't hurt anything to check) - ---------------------------------- Jeff Hurst E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 13-Aug-98 Time: 01:36:30 - ---------------------------------- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3a Charset: noconv iQB1AwUBNdKJbkiZN8hXvI05AQFg/QL+LXmrFNAuUrz3Y6tiiVixP/W1mV8VwI3k OdYMTxUQkeQ1eAsGzpBQLdlT8XKU5k6nOKaMTb8Ydo3IBZqxHXtze6UDcvcdBN06 5TZLEZA6ImsGlCa6S8/KWeRWNcyM8I6Q =1W4Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
