I am getting a (-15) error on almost every package in the NLS extraction and the actual binaries. I eventually extracted the "boot.img" and copied the new fdnpkg files to it and the extracted the "all_cd" files to a directory on my hard drive and adjusted the FDNPKG.CFG file. It works fine this

Thanks for the more detailed report. Can you confirm please that you get all the "-15" errors using FNDPKG v0.99.3, and not any earlier version? To know the exact version you are using, simply run FDNPKG without any arguments. It will print its version somewhere at the top of the screen. -15

Hey Mateusz, I usually start my clean install from the all_cd.iso with FDNPKG install kernel, but since you announced the update to FDNPKG, I tried to install FDNPKG first. After loading the db to temp it begins the install but then produces several (-15) errors in the DOC, NLS and BIN directory

Okay, I'm not sure I understand the wholeness of your situation, but is it right to sum it up like this? "you had troubles because of using a severly outdated FDNPKG v0.96 that was embedded inside the boot.img portion of all_cd.iso" ? If that's correct, then the problem should be gone by now,

Hi all, I released FDNPKG v0.99.3 today. This is a purely bugfix release, I'd highly recommend upgrading any older version. FDNPKG v0.99.3 [23 Nov 2015] - [fix] files zipped uncompressed are extracted correctly (v0.99.2 regress), - [fix] closing file descriptors on install failure (no risk of
