The emacs-2 and jove-4 packages are evidently corrupted. gzip returns "files not really there" and hangs. I can ^C to stop the full installation, but not to just kill the failed package attempt, so I lose hours of work. The machine is a Cyrix P6-120+ w/ 40MB RAM, two mult-GB drives, 2MB 3D ProVidia 9685. Installing on the secondary drive, BTW. >How-To-Repeat: Well, I'm not sure how many packages will give this result. It seemed to work for the majority of them. You could try installing those packages. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
