Help,
I have downloaded the base system of Linux from tsx-11.mit.edu, the SLS
system. When I try to install it goes great until I run the doinstall script
all hell lets lose.
a1 and a2 go fine, then all sorts of errors with a3 and a4, for example
MINIX-fs magic match error
various files not in gzip form
zafix, tar EOF no on boundary block
I am guessing (DOS user up till know) that my downlaoded files are
Donald Ducked (you know that F word), but I have ftp ing them again.
Does anybody have the disk sets as lzh,zip or arc files under DOS, or is my
problem something else.
Hardware: 486DX 33 mhz, 2 off 107 md drives, AWard Bios v4.00
Thanks in advance
