Greetings;
Sounds like the same problem I had a while back.
Most likely a transfer has been done that changed cr/lf to lf or vice versa
and the files are now not valid tar, gz, rpm, etc files. Try doing your
last
ftp in binary mode and see if that fixes the problem. If not you may as
well
go back to the beginning and redo everything ... in binary mode where
you have a choice.
Good Luck!

Hi,
I'm trying to install ThinkBlue 7.1a in a virtual Linux instance under z/VM
4.2 and am running into problems. Here is the background.
My coworker downloaded the ISO and created a CD from ISO #1 using
xcd-roaster on a RedHat7.1 Linux system.
I created a 1000 cylinder minidisk on an existing SuSe 7.0 for s/390 Linux
instance, mounted it under directory /dasdc, and FTP'ed the contents of the
CD onto it from the CD drive on a Windows 2000 PC.
I created the ThinkBlue Linux instance and followed the readme on the CD to
where I am booting a temp kernel from my VM reader. I am using QDIO with a
gig/e OSA card as my network connection.
I am able to telnet to the Blue instance and start "tbsetup". I see that
the LIST file is copied into the /tmp/dest/tmp directory, but when it goes
to process the RPMs I get this message for each one:
error: /mnt/dest/tmp/basesystem-7.0-2.noarch.rpm does not appear to be a
RPM package
Here is an installation where I pressed ctrl-c after the first message:
--begin install log--

--end install log --
I don't see the RPM file being transferred (get) anywhere. When I let the
script run, It generates the error messages very quickly, I don't see any
files actually being copied from the FTP server.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim Peddycord
