Hello again, I mounted my A drive where I got my downloaded latest driver from the ftp to get X running, and this is my delimna. in my /mnt directory I copied the file to where I needed it: file was x3323s~1.tgz typed gunzip x3323s~1.tgz got x3323s~1.tar (??) typed tar -x x3323s~1.tar got tar: can't open /dev/rst0 : Device not configured I know that the device is not in my kernel, but why is it necessary to have "Fisrt SCSE tape drive, rewind on close mode" configured. Isnt tar just a compression? Am I misunderstanding the deal behind this problem. Thanks for any help.
