Two questions:

1)  Why, when I type, "tar -x /usr/local/bin/bash-2.0.tar", do I get 
"tar: can't open /dev/rst0 :No such file or directory"?  I have even 
tried to do a "./MAKEDEV rst0", but it won't make the device, and I can't 
untar the archive.l

2)  In the FAQ, it says to first "rm /etc/localtime"  before sending a 
"ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/myzone /etc/localtime".  Why not just command, 
"ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/myzone /etc/localtime"?  The "-f" flag 
dissolves the previous link.  Is this a guru thing?

Regards,

Sean.  (Again.)
