Hi,

Here is a follow-up.  I downloaded a few other of the tarballs to see how
things were going.  I was able to install misc.tar.gz without any
problems.  Unfortunately, comp.tar.gz does not get very far.

  ./usr/bin/gcc
  ./usr/bin/gdb
  tar: Skipping to next file header ...
  #

A similar problem with base.tar.gz as I mentioned.

  ./usr/bin/md5
  ./usr/bin/merge
  tar: Skipping to next file header ...
  #

The installation was done in single user mode with the commands in my
previous message.

If I try and boot into multi-user, I am constantly nagged by ld.so
complaining that libraries are not the expected versions.  Fortunately, I
had the 970402 -current tarballs still sitting on my box.  I went back
into single-user and untarred the tarfiles without any problems.

I think there is something amiss with the tarballs, or is it just me?
