I've had a couple of people report symptoms like this (which I'm utterly unable to reproduce) which leads me to believe that perhaps one of our mirrors has a bogus dist. > 4) Usr.SBin Dist failed to install with the same message as > BIN Dist.

Beats the old 386BSD 0.1 Thanks, though I'd still like to know why you (and a couple of other folks) are having such a hard time extracting these dists! They all work just fine for me and all the testers hanging around Walnut Creek CDROM.. The only known bug is that /usr/src/bin doesn't extract as part of the src dist, and that's been fixed. Jordan
