The install.sh script is just a wrapper around a tar/gunzip command (see below) - you can get by without it. > - I am searching for a way to decompress all source files from Dir > /src under DOS/Windows directly. > -Or should I try to read the CD Rom in an UNIX machine (HP) > and then - what is needed to uncompress the source > files ? cat ssrc.?? | tar xzvf - which will obviously be easier to do on a UNIX machine (and you will have better tools available to examine the results as well); however, there are free versions of cat, tar and gunzip for DOS, available from any good Simtel archive. (Note that the 'z' flag causes tar to pipe its output through gunzip, even though gunzip is not explicitly mentioned on the command line). Another possibility is of course to reformat the DOS machine and put FreeBSD on it :-) Cheers James -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland. james@jraynard.demon.co.uk http://www.freebsd.org/~jraynard/
