The background (ALT F2) display this messages (followed from a much longer list) " bin/cat bin/chmod bin/cp pid 23:gunzip:uid0:exited on signal 11 DEBUG: Doing [Default] close called for wd0s1 with fd of 7 DEBUG: switch back to VTY1 /stand/cpio: premature end of file" If I retry, the message appears on the back ground is "gunzip:stdin: not in gzip format" followed by some others. I do not know information I could provide. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks in advance. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
