I managed to mess up an install because the 2.0 install disk didn't detect my sbpcd CD. Anyway, I unpacked base2_0.tgz using star from the rescue disk. I think all I did was to cd to the root mount point and do: star < path/to/base2_0.tgz but maybe I had to decompress it first, I'm not certain: zcat path/to/base2_0.tgz | star (I'm not even sure the decompressor was zcat... I'm not helping much, am I?) Peter
