Hello from Gregg C Levine Marco have you actually tried those tar files? I downloaded all of them, depending on which system I had in front of me, either an FTP client, or via the wget client. Here's a screen full of error messages: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/gnu# tar --same-owner -xvf debian-gnu-hurd-2004.09.17.tar.gz tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: Read 8809 bytes from debian-gnu-hurd-2004.09.17.tar.gz tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/gnu# ls debian-gnu-hurd-2004.09.17.tar.gz lost+found/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/gnu# tar --same-owner -xvf debian-gnu-hurd-2004.09.17.tar.gz tar: This does not look like a tar archive tar: Skipping to next header tar: Archive contains obsolescent base-64 headers tar: Read 827 bytes from debian-gnu-hurd-2004.09.17.tar.gz tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Were they actually tested before being uploaded? Reason why I posted to the BUG list, is because there's a bug in the packaging for the tar file arrangements. What that is, I can't begin to state. That's why I chose the one with your first name on it, from Alpha. It's one I trust more, then those three. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
