Re: [Trinux-talk] Trinux/LaBrea Network Image

[<tb...@ti...>]

Perhaps you are getting corrupted data thru the Ethernet Port..

Try downloading a package onto another machine (wget.tgz might be handy),
and put it on a dos floppy.  After you have your Trinux machine up, mount
the floppy and see if gzip still thinks the wget.tgz file is bad.  Once
you have wget installed, try grabbing wget.tgz with wget, and compare what
you get thru the Ethernet port with the good package you installed.  I
think the size and/or checksums will differ.

I have been using the network 0.80-rc2 floppy image with no problems...

If that isn't it, then perhaps a bad floppy?
