In article <32373F12.2EBE@lgc.com> you wrote: : I downloaded the source code directory for one of the version of : FreeBSD. I was unable to unpak it. There is an install.sh shell script : which calls tar with some options that are not supported on either : Solaris 1.x or 2.x (as far as I can find). If I remove the unsupported : options (the ones that give errors), I get a checksum error. Can someone : help me unpak these files? You'll see that they are in "sets" of files.. like.... subin.aa subin.ab subin.ac (for example) Try something like... cat subin.a* | gzip -d | tar tvf - which should produce a list of all the files in that multipart compressed tar archive... if you don't have gzip, you'll need it. To then extract use... cat subin.a* | gzip -d | tar xvf - -C /extract/em/here where "/extract/em/here" is where you wanna extract the files.
