Currently, however, I'm trying to work out why, given 2 copies of src.tgz on different machines but with identical MD5 checksums, extracting it on one machine works with no problems, and on another certain files are replaced with binary rubbish. This is slowing down my 'make world' somewhat <sigh>. Particularly as this second machine is nowhere near anything 'net connected, and I have to do all file transfers by parallel port Zip drive every 18 hours or so. . . This is with an ASUSTeK P6UP5-P6 Pentium Pro Mainboard with the NCR SCSI BIOS (no idea of version at the moment, I didn't note the info) running on a (for the moment) 2.2.2-RELEASE system.
