Unless you're logged in as root, you're not going to be able to build these example files inside /usr/doc (nor should you) anyway, so you'll have to copy them somewhere else. You can run gunzip on them then and there's no problem. -- Rob Browning <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP=E80E0D04F521A094 532B97F5D64E3930
