- That's perfectly normal. You'll see that every time you mount an
- MS-DOS disk. That's just Linux's way of saying "this ain't a Minix-fs
- disk". In short, don't worry about this message.

-
- This is a problem in the initial SLS distribution when it was first
- converted to the *.tzp format. It's been fixed now, and the fixed
- version works just fine -- you'll see the packages being done one by one
-
- like you saw on the A2 disk (and, FYI, this SLS problem had nothing to
- do
- with the above 'magic match failed').
