The MD5 sums for each file match the ones listed in binary/sets/Split/MD5,
and I tested with both a 1.4.2 and 1.4.1 installation disk. Unpacking of
base.tgz died all three times (using different floppies each time) at
/usr/share/misc/vgrindefs.db. I got the system up and running in single
user mode, and /usr/INSTALL/base.tgz was less than the expected size, and
'cd /; tar -zxvvpf /usr/INSTALL/base.tgz' died on the same file. I split
base.tgz on my own and untarred it to / and it worked. Maybe it's a
problem with sysinst?
