I tried the same thing:

	cat bin.?? | zcat | tar tvf -

and it worked just fine (i.e. I saw no error messages though I did not
check the pipeline return status).  The problem seems to be in the
installation process itself.  It claimed the extraction failed but
gave no reason.  Is the error output from the extraction commands stored
anyplace during the installation process?  (Someplace that I could
look at after the failure?)
