Subject: [Q] is my linux-0.99.7.tar.z corrupt?
Date: Wed, 17 Mar 1993 22:00:12 GMT

I picked up linux.0.99.7.tar.z on Mar 14 and linux.0.99.patch7.z on Mar 15
from sunsite and gzip (1.0.2 and 1.0.6) thinks they are corrupt.
Other stuff looks ok.

Could someone with a known good copy run sum on them and let me know
what is says?

Please respond vie e-mail since I doubt the net wants to know.

Thanks
D
