Thanks - using wget I've got a valid tarball. Using 7.0.1 (and renamed to .orig after I found it was corrupt) was quite different. ken@ac30 ~ $md5sum /sources/firefox-8.0.source.tar.bz2* 9395a5be13da119bd8d53c3225e5d17c /sources/firefox-8.0.source.tar.bz2 f47284ce83fae85129d83617a9c90800 /sources/firefox-8.0.source.tar.bz2.orig ken@ac30 ~ $ls -l /sources/firefox-8.0.source.tar.bz2* -rw-r--r-- 1 ken 100 70377448 Nov 9 19:54 /sources/firefox-8.0.source.tar.bz2 -rw-r--r-- 1 ken 100 70377448 Nov 9 18:11 /sources/firefox-8.0.source.tar.bz2.orig Odd, everything else I've downloaded from 7.0.1 seems ok (but is, of course, a lot smaller). ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
