I just installed NetBSD 1.41 on a 5000/133 and all went well
(minor problems with missing termcap entries aside...) except that when I
install binary packages I get errors like:
gzip: stdout: Broken pipe
tar: child returned status 1
The packages seem to install, at least the executable is
installed...
The funny thing is that is that I actually installed 1.41 twice
(the first disk drive was too noisy for me) and I dont think that I had
the problem the first time. Another thing I noticed was that the very
first package you try to install fails with a missing directory error...
Same thing here. But I don't think is related to the 1.4.1
packages in themselves. I get the same problem in some random
fashion with any tarball that I "gunzip -c" and "tar xf -". But
the result seems correct anyway.
