From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Wayne Dernoncourt To: Ian Roxborough Cc: SourceNav Subject: Re: help on installation Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 09:39:00 -0000 Message-id: References: X-SW-Source: 2001-q1/msg00223.html things continue to get weird I've now downloaded three versions (two could be from the same site, I don't remember). I just downloaded and tried to install from ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/sourcenav/releases/ , prior to that I tried ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/ - I didn't keep track of how big the tar.gz files were (ungzipped with gzip -d SN452.tar.gz), but afterwards the SN452.tar file had the following characteristics: 59146240 Sep 11 2000 SN452.tar (I had renamed the first one to SN452-old.tar, both match on size and date - is there a way to for this Unix newbie to get more info?) After I tried to un-tar it, it failed in the same spot all three times. The resulting disk usage is 38270, it looks like I'm missing around a third of the files (assuming a 1=1 relationship, doubtful it's exact, but it is probably okay for a measure on how much is missing). For grins and giggles, here is the info on the tar that I suppose I'm using: 52620 Jul 16 1997 /usr/sbin/tar (this is on a Sparc Solaris 2.6 system) Take care | This clown speaks for himself, his job doesn't Wayne D. | pay for this, etc. (directly anyway)
