Hi folks !

Spending a lot of time (downloading, etc ;-) ) I finally got NetBSD 1.1 running
on my machine. Seems to work fine. As I am a "bloody beginner" (never worked on
a UNIX machine !), I have problems to install X11R6...

Basic information:

Amiga Dos HD (Quantum Lightning 730):

Unit      Size    Used    Free Full Errs   Status   Name

DH0:       20M   18004   25002  42%   0  Read/Write WB_3.1
DH1:       20M   41443    1563  96%   0  Read/Write HOME
DH2:      200M    9219  402427   2%   0  Read/Write Work
DH6:      455M  104782  828080  11%   0  Read/Write Daten

NetBSD HD (Quantum LPS 105):

dh3:       12M  -->  root
dh4:       18M  -->  swap
dh5:       69M  -->  user

both drives connectet to a GForce040, SCSI

The X11R6 archives are at Daten:DownLoad/X11/

The problem is:

Starting NetBSD with: loadbsd -a netbsd
mount the ADos-partition dh6:
I can read the directory /mnt/ados/DownLoad/X11/
everything O.K., but now...

the command

    "gzcat filename | (cd / ; tar --unlink -xvfp -)"

fails. The output is:

    "tar: can't open p: No such file or directory."

Is there anybody out there to to tell me what I am doing wrong? I know there is
somebody. Please help me...

Thanx in advance & greetings from Vienna

Ernst
