I am trying to us DL to build a router but am not getting anywhere. It seems the etc.tar.bz2 file is corrupted. I have downloaded from several sources with the same problem. I have tried to find a FAQ or mail forum unsuccessfully. If these resources are available if someone can direct me to them it would be appreciated. |

Are you running the i486 version? I'm a newbie. I just got DL i586-SMP working on an intel i830 machine. I'm trying to put (same current release) i486 on an old 750M AMD and am getting errors that might be symptomatic of a corrupted etc.tar.bz On 9/19/07, Charles Mims <chm...@ea...> wrote: > > I am trying to us DL to build a router but am not getting anywhere.

What makes you think it's corrupt? How are you trying to "read" it? Are you trying to read it outside of DL with Windows or Linux? How? What error messages are you seeing? How is it saved (floppy/USB-stick)? If it's saved on a floppy, it may very well be corrupt. Most floppies are very old these days and junk. Switch to a USB stick if possible. > I have tried to find a FAQ or mail forum unsuccessfully. If these > resources are available if someone can direct me to them it would be > appreciated. This is the correct mail forum. The official docs are at www.devil-linux.org. - BS |

If I attempted to untar and decompress i.e. $tar -xjvf devil-linux.tar.bz2 I got corrupted files with bad md5sums. If I do it in two steps i.e. bunzip the file and then untar the files are ok. Not sure why, but that resolved the issue. |
