> IOW(?), OP, is your http-downloaded object, a tarball?
I don't know what object it was, but I clicked on the http download link in the BLFS page, and got a tar.gz file. It does seem to be a problem with Google Chrome which I used to download the file. When I tried it with Firefox it was OK. Weird. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
