By that time it has already run 'sum' on the binary file and got the right answer. My guess would be a difference between the HP-UX and Linux version of 'wc' when it comes to processing binary files. If so, then the resulting C7120023.frm is probably fine. Might be nice if someone else confirmed that before you trash your machine though ;-) Richard > touch: warning: `touch 0307160396' is obsolete; use `touch -t > 199603071603.00' > touch: warning: `touch 0417072796' is obsolete; use `touch -t > 199604170727.00' > gecko60:~/update# > > I had a look into the shell script and saw that 'wc' and 'sum' are used > to generate numbers. > What would wc do better to check the file sum can't? > sum seems to think that the file is correct but wc doesn't. > If I write the file to a tape I cannot boot from it, it is in the search > list but if I try to boot from the tape I am thrown back to the admin > console without a word, if I write it to a CD I can boot but the updater > thinks that the firmware data isn't loadable. > > Anyone a guess or could send me a working file to upgrade my 712 to the > latest firmware? > > 712/60, 96MB, tape drive is a Tandberg TDC 4100. > > Thanks, > Mike > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
